Source Verification Policy

How resident submissions are evaluated for internal consistency, and how verification status is labelled across the archive.

Verification labels

  • Reviewed: the editor has examined supporting materials (screenshots, photographs, invoices, correspondence) for internal consistency and corroboration across multiple residents.
  • Partially reviewed: some supporting materials have been examined; other elements rely on the resident’s account alone.
  • Resident-reported only: the entry rests on the resident’s statement, without supporting documents reviewed by the editor.
  • External source: the entry rests on, or links to, independent third-party reporting (for example COFEK’s February 2025 article).

What verification does not mean

A “Reviewed” label means the editor has examined materials for internal consistency. It does not constitute legal proof of any allegation, nor does it bind any regulator, court, or professional body.

Cross-referencing

Where multiple unrelated residents have reported a similar pattern, the platform may publish an aggregated summary. The threshold for publication is internal consistency, supporting materials where available, and the absence of obvious contradictions.

Independent third-party reporting

External reporting is treated as additional context. The platform does not assume that external coverage independently verifies every claim documented on this archive, nor that an absence of external coverage disproves a resident submission.

Verification is provisional

A verification status may be revised as new materials become available or as management or named parties submit clarifications or corrections.

Limitations

The platform does not access management systems, building records, contractor invoices, or any privileged document. Verification reflects only what residents have submitted and what is in the public record.
