How records are curated

  • Only the backend team can publish a record.
  • Each record rests on at least one official or primary document (Cabinet decision, gazette, ministry, statutory body, procurement notice), with its link, publisher, document date, the date we retrieved it and a note on reuse terms.
  • Status and dates come from those documents, and every record shows when it was last checked.
  • No scores, ratings or projected returns. Read the documents and ask the agency before you rely on a record.
