How we work

Sources before summaries.

Our method separates official records, seller claims, editorial interpretation and commercial content.

01

Source hierarchy

We prefer current Australian Government records for import and regulatory status, vehicle-maker material for original specifications, and documented specialist evidence for condition or service questions.

02

Model checker

A positive checker result requires an exact match to a curated record marked verified. Similar codes are not inferred. Every result exposes a source date and retrieval date.

03

Review cadence

Time-sensitive source records and cost assumptions are reviewed on a documented schedule. Stale or unknown information is shown as such rather than silently carried forward.

04

Commercial independence

Sponsors cannot purchase verification, suppress corrections or alter editorial conclusions. Sponsored inventory is visibly labelled.
