Verification on this desk
The rules this desk files under — the full protocol is on our How we verify page.
- Standards
Specs carry their standard

- Sources
Two sources, always
Every factual claim traces to a documented source. News coverage follows a two-source rule.
- Disclosure
Disclosures on the page
Vehicle loans, affiliate relationships, sponsorships, manufacturer assistance: disclosed on the page, every time.
