Sources and method
What we verify, and how
This course is written from public sources and from the daily practice of the trade. It is neither advertising nor academic research. Here are the rules we hold ourselves to, and the list of sources cited in the lessons.
Six rules
One figure, one sourceNo figure appears without a link to the public page that publishes it and the date we consulted it. If a number circulates in the industry with no public source, it is dropped rather than rounded.
Rules, quotedA platform rule is reproduced as it is published, with the link. We never write that a tool is "compliant" or "allowed": that judgment belongs to the platform, not to us.
No invented reviewsNo testimonials, no star ratings, no revenue screenshots, no "we tested it". No fictional person appears on this site.
Non-public facts are flaggedWhen a fact is not documented publicly, the lesson writes "not documented publicly" instead of estimating.
No paid linksTools are named by category, from their public pages. No affiliate links, no paid ranking, no advertising.
Dated, therefore perishablePlatform prices and rules change. Each lesson carries an updated date, and each source the date it was checked. Beyond six months, check again before acting.
What this course is not
It is not legal advice, not tax advice, and not investment advice. It is not a promise of earnings: no lesson contains a revenue projection. It is also not official platform documentation. For rules that bind you, read the source we cite, not our summary of it.
