Trust is not a badge we award ourselves. It is a practice readers should be able to inspect: how we choose topics, what counts as evidence, how advertising is separated from editorial work, and what happens when something needs to be corrected.
Complexity belongs in the subject—not in confusing navigation, vague wording, or hidden processes.
Sources should support the claim being made, while limitations and uncertainty remain visible.
When reliable new information changes the record, the page should change with it.
