Methodology
Every feature begins with a question, a source plan and an explicit boundary around what the evidence can support.
Research starts with primary regulations, official data, dated archives and first-party records where those sources are appropriate. Secondary analysis can explain context, but it does not silently replace the governing instrument.
Precise claims receive a source date, scope and confidence note. When inputs are not comparable, the page says so rather than manufacturing a ranking. Current rules and market-sensitive passages carry review dates.
The method is deliberately modest. A clear definition with the right context is more useful than an impressive but unsupported number.
