HOW WE RESEARCH

Clear enough to understand.
Careful enough to trust.

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 LIMITS
THE CORE PRINCIPLE

Official information tells you what is published. Good research also tells you what it means—and what it cannot promise.

OUR FOUR STANDARDS

What every guide should do.

These standards apply across university guides, career guides, comparisons, quizzes, and resource pages.

01

Official sources first

Admissions, program structures, credentials, occupational requirements, and other changing facts begin with the organization responsible for them.

02

Facts and perspective stay separate

Source-backed information explains what is published. EverythingBusiness perspective helps students interpret tradeoffs without pretending to be an official verdict.

03

Dates stay visible

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.

04

Corrections beat quiet edits

When credible new information is found, we review the official source, update the guide, and avoid preserving a claim simply because it appeared before.

THE PROCESS

From a question to a guide.

We do not begin with a ranking or a conclusion. We begin with the decision a student is trying to make.

  1. 01

    Define the question

    Identify what a student actually needs to understand, compare, or verify before collecting information.

  2. 02

    Find the source owner

    Start with universities, governments, regulators, professional bodies, and organizations responsible for the fact.

  3. 03

    Cross-check the context

    Check dates, geography, eligibility, occupational groupings, and whether a statistic truly applies to the title being discussed.

  4. 04

    Translate carefully

    Explain the information in plain language while preserving important conditions, uncertainty, and exceptions.

  5. 05

    Link, date, and revisit

    Attach the supporting sources, record the review date, and revisit information when a change or correction is reported.

SOURCE HIERARCHY

Not every link carries the same weight.

We prioritize the source closest to the decision, rule, program, credential, or dataset being described.

01
PRIMARY

Official decision-makers

University admissions pages · Government departments · Regulators · Legislation · Professional certification bodies

Preferred for requirements, deadlines, program structures, credentials, rules, and official processes.

02
SUPPORTING

Reliable context

Government labour-market data · Institutional reports · Recognized professional research

Used for occupational context, wages, pathways, and broader explanations—with the limits stated.

03
PERSPECTIVE

EverythingBusiness interpretation

Questions to consider · Fit and tradeoffs · Student-friendly comparisons

Clearly framed as guidance, not an official ranking, guarantee, or replacement for personal research.

IMPORTANT LIMITS

What a guide cannot guarantee.

Admissions, tuition, deadlines, curricula, salaries, labour markets, and professional requirements can change. Individual experiences also differ by year, location, employer, specialization, and personal circumstances.

  • Admission ranges are not admission guarantees.
  • Occupational wage data may group several different job titles.
  • A listed pathway is not the only possible route into a career.
  • Quiz results are exploration prompts, not assessments or predictions.
  • Students should confirm important decisions on the linked official page.
MAINTENANCE ROUTINE

A simple schedule for keeping the site current.

The internal maintenance tracker records the next review date and official source for every guide.

01

MONTHLY

Run the full source-link check, fix true 404 or 410 errors, and review correction emails.

02

QUARTERLY

Recheck changing claims such as admissions, program structure, credentials, costs, and labour-market data.

03

EACH SUMMER

Complete a full university admissions and tuition review before the next application cycle.

04

IMMEDIATELY

Review any official change, broken high-priority link, safety concern, or credible correction report.
