Source-first writing
Program facts should be grounded in official university sources. Editorial explanations can help users interpret those facts but must not replace or contradict the source.
Missing tuition, admission, deadline or program-format fields are not filled with invented values.
Updates
High-change fields should be rechecked when a record is materially updated. Program URLs and university entry points are treated as operational data rather than permanent facts.
Commercial separation
Commercial relationships are not accepted as verification evidence. Any future affiliate or advertising relationship must remain separate from the source and quality rules used for directory records.
