Standards

Editorial Policy

Our standards, in plain language.

Verification

Business status, event dates, parking rules, accessibility claims, history and market figures are verified by a person against official or primary sources before publication. Each page shows its sources.

Labels

  • Directory profile — factual listing, no opinion.
  • Editorial recommendation — our judgment, based on stated evidence.
  • Firsthand review — only with a documented visit.
  • Sponsored — clearly labeled; never affects directory facts.

Automation

We may use software to suggest topics, flag outdated details or broken links. Nothing is published automatically. No scheduled automation is currently running.

Language

We avoid investment hype and phrases that erase longtime residents. When we describe neighborhood change, we say what changed and whose perspective is represented.
