Every regulatory claim carries a source
An official URL, the jurisdiction it belongs to, and the date we last read it. No source, no publication — even when we are confident.
Our standards
The rules we
cannot bend.
Everything else about this product is open to argument. These eight are not, because the cost of breaking them is paid by someone planning their life around the answer.
Never mix three kinds of statement
Official requirement, editorial estimate and community experience are labelled separately. One individual's experience never rewrites a rule.
Not regulated is not the same as not checked
The first is a regulatory claim and needs a source. The second is admitting ignorance. Passing one off as the other could tell someone they may practise without a licence.
No promises, no scores
We never predict approval, timing or points. For points-based routes we explain the factors and link the official calculator, because calculating would be promising.
Figures travel with their year and their condition
A salary floor without its year goes stale silently. Without its exception, it makes people rule themselves out over a number that never applied to them.
A fragment stays inside its own scope
Text taken from permit A is never reused in a block shared with permits B and C. Each permit usually has its own legal test, so a true sentence in the wrong container becomes false.
Being right by inference is not being sourced
If the authority's page does not say it, we do not publish it — even when the deduction turns out to be correct.
Refresh the date and the quote together
A new date over an old quotation asserts a review that never happened. When we recheck, both move.
No crawler, on purpose
Why nothing here updates itself.
Recognition rules and migration regimes move in cycles of years, not hours. An automated watcher across hundreds of government pages would produce noise, break constantly and still miss the change that mattered. So the refresh is deliberate and manual, and the mechanism that protects you is different: the date sits next to the link, and you can check it yourself in one click.
What the date means
On that day, that official page said this. That is the entire claim, stated exactly.
What it does not mean
It does not mean the rule is unchanged today, and we will never dress it up as if it did.
