Our visible status labels

Official

Primary evidence

Government, statutory, institutional or company primary material that directly supports the claim.

Reported

Credible reporting

A media or secondary source reports the claim, but the level of primary confirmation is stated.

Target

Future intention

An announced date, capacity or ambition. It is not written as a completed fact.

Analysis

Our interpretation

A clearly marked explanation of what the available evidence may mean.

The claim lifecycle

  1. Capture: record the wording, source, date and topic.
  2. Compare: check primary material and credible independent reporting.
  3. Classify: label the status and separate fact from interpretation.
  4. Publish carefully: include the source, the relevant date and the remaining uncertainty.
  5. Review: update or correct the record when the underlying situation changes.

What we will not do

  • Present property marketing as independent evidence.
  • Turn a target date into an operating fact.
  • Promise returns, appreciation or guaranteed project outcomes.
  • Use a plan map as proof that a specific parcel is approved or available.
  • Publish an internal early signal as confirmed public news.
The practical test: if a reader cannot tell what is known, what is reported and what remains uncertain, the page is not ready.
