Source discipline Every public number should resolve to a live reputable source before launch.
Research and source framework
The site uses statistics to establish why a business problem is worth checking. The source document explicitly requires every figure to be re-verified before publishing.
Launch rule: Statistics age. Before production, verify each figure, update the linked source where needed, and remove any claim that cannot be supported by a live reputable reference.
Each solution page links back to the source family behind its opening benchmark. Before launch, replace or supplement these source-family references with the final verified live URLs used for publication.
