Editorial standards
Useful content comes before monetisation
We are rebuilding this site around a narrow consumer-help purpose. Articles should answer a real question, explain the process in plain language, identify limitations and point readers to the primary agency material behind important claims.
Before a guide is published
- Remove unsupported numbers and invented experience.
- Prefer official or first-party sources for rules and deadlines.
- Add internal links only when they genuinely help the next step.
- Review time-sensitive claims and show an update date.
