Methodology

Source hierarchy

• Official agencies and standards bodies
• Peer-reviewed research and academic sources
• Recognized sector guidance
• Reputable incident reports and postmortems
• News as context, not primary guidance
• Clearly labeled site synthesis and original worksheets

Uncertainty and change

We label evidence type, preserve important limitations, avoid panic claims, and point readers to current official instructions. Review dates show when a page was last checked, not that facts can never change.

Safety boundary

The site does not provide medical, legal, regulatory, emergency-management, or cybersecurity compliance advice, and its tools must not contain PHI, credentials, secrets, or live incident details.

Editorial review workflow

• Define the claim and intended operational question.
• Select the highest-authority current source and preserve its important limits.
• Seek corroboration when a claim is consequential, contested, or based on observational evidence.
• Screen for medical, legal, compliance, privacy, security, and panic-amplification risk.
• Record the evidence label, review date, unresolved uncertainty, and next review trigger.

Specialist review status

Pages receive structured editorial and source review during development. They have not been represented as individually approved by named clinicians, attorneys, regulators, public-health officers, clinical engineers, or cybersecurity professionals. Named specialist review will be disclosed only after a real person reviews a defined version and consents to attribution.

Corrections and version discipline

Corrections should identify the page, claim, source, and reason without including PHI, credentials, or incident-sensitive material. Material changes should update the review date; superseded PDFs should be rebuilt together so the HTML and download versions remain aligned.
