Editorial policy

Our standards for sourcing, corrections, commercial separation, and article updates.

Effective August 27, 2026

Sources and verification

We prefer current Franchise Disclosure Documents, official regulatory guidance, and clearly identified primary sources. Material facts should carry a source and review date.

Corrections

Readers and franchise representatives may submit corrections. We review evidence, record material administrative changes, and never promise favorable coverage.

Commercial separation

Sponsorship buys labeled visibility only. Sponsors do not receive a higher organic score or editorial veto.

Article standards

Guides are written for usefulness and updated when rules or source material change. They distinguish general education from professional advice.
