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 resource pages.
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 show when their sources were last checked. A review date means the linked information was examined—it does not guarantee that nothing changed afterward.
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.
