How the team works

Writers never approve their own guides. A second editor checks each claim against a source before publication, and every guide carries the date it was last reviewed.

  • Editorially reviewed

    Every guide is checked by a second editor before it is published.

  • Independent research

    Claims are traced to regulators, carriers and border authorities.

  • Regularly updated

    Guides carry a review date and are re-checked on a fixed cycle.
