Official sources first
Admissions, program structures, credentials, occupational requirements, and other changing facts begin with the organization responsible for them.
EverythingBusiness turns complicated university and career information into student-friendly guides without hiding where the information came from.
OUR STANDARD · SOURCE IT, DATE IT, EXPLAIN ITS LIMITSThese standards apply across university guides, career guides, comparisons, quizzes, and the source sections attached to each guide.
Admissions, program structures, credentials, occupational requirements, and other changing facts begin with the organization responsible for them.
Source-backed information explains what is published. EverythingBusiness perspective helps students interpret tradeoffs without pretending to be an official verdict.
Guides retain their recorded source-review date. A targeted correction does not reset the date for the entire guide. Dated statistics describe their original cohort or reporting period, not a promise about current results.
When credible new information is found, we review the official source, update the guide, and avoid preserving a claim simply because it appeared before.
We do not begin with a ranking or a conclusion. We begin with the decision a student is trying to make.
Identify what a student actually needs to understand, compare, or verify before collecting information.
Start with universities, governments, regulators, professional bodies, and organizations responsible for the fact.
Check dates, geography, eligibility, occupational groupings, and whether a statistic truly applies to the title being discussed.
Explain the information in plain language while preserving important conditions, uncertainty, and exceptions.
Attach the supporting sources, record the review date, and revisit information when a change or correction is reported.
We prioritize the source closest to the decision, rule, program, credential, or dataset being described.
University admissions pages · Government departments · Regulators · Legislation · Professional certification bodies
Preferred for requirements, deadlines, program structures, credentials, rules, and official processes.
Government labour-market data · Institutional reports · Recognized professional research
Used for occupational context, wages, pathways, and broader explanations—with the limits stated.
Questions to consider · Fit and tradeoffs · Student-friendly comparisons
Clearly framed as guidance, not an official ranking, guarantee, or replacement for personal research.
Admissions, tuition, deadlines, curricula, salaries, labour markets, and professional requirements can change. Individual experiences also differ by year, location, employer, specialization, and personal circumstances.
Link checks tell us whether a source responds; they do not prove its content supports every claim. Automated number matches are only leads for manual review. Blocked sources and unresolved facts remain follow-up items rather than being marked verified.
Run the full source-link check, fix true 404 or 410 errors, and review correction emails.
Recheck changing claims such as admissions, program structure, credentials, costs, and labour-market data.
Recheck university admissions, deadlines, and tuition when the new cycle opens; summer pages may still describe the previous intake.
Review any official change, broken high-priority link, safety concern, or credible correction report.
Send the page, the detail that may be outdated, and an official supporting link. Every report is reviewed before the website is changed.
