Who is the source?
Identity starts with a consistent name, official URL and clear description of the activity. Authorship should be visible and match responsibility for the text. Do not add biographies or roles merely to make a page look more authoritative.
Team profiles explain who is responsible for the resource. For a specific claim, add the source that supports it. Readers can then check both the author and the information.
Consistent facts
Different descriptions of the same entity can confuse readers. Keep definitions, services and roles consistent. When information changes, update important public sources rather than leaving contradictory versions.
Do not turn a publicly presented client into a claim about a current contract. Do not turn an expert profile into evidence of assignment to a client. Accurate boundaries are part of credibility.
Accessible and understandable content
Core meaning should exist in normal page text. A diagram can clarify it but should not be the only carrier of information. Subheadings and internal links help readers follow the reasoning.
Check that the URL is stable and canonical and that the page is accessible without login. Personal data and internal materials remain protected. Public discovery is not a reason to disclose private context.
What makes information original?
Originality can come from a clearly explained expert approach, verifiable analysis or a documented original dataset. Restating generic advice does not become research merely because it has a diagram. State the actual contribution.
Editorial interpretation and quantitative findings are different. If there is no measured sample, do not add percentages or rankings. A useful explanation with precise boundaries is better than apparent precision.
Evidence and sources
Choose a source that supports the specific claim. State what it supports, in which period and with which limitations. An external document about technical eligibility does not establish future results for your site.
Citation itself also needs checking: was the page used for a particular fact, was that fact represented accurately and can the original material be read? Do not conflate presence with recommendation.
A practical sequence
Start with identity and facts, then check accessibility, structure and content. Document observations after defining what is being checked. Each change then has a clear rationale.
