Trust protocol · Version 1.0
The recommendation is the end of the method, not the start.
We build each page around a traveler situation, a visible decision rubric, and the facts most likely to change.
Define the decision
One page answers one purchase question for a specific traveler setup. Generic inspiration and exhaustive listicles are outside scope.
Use primary sources
Official providers, terms, government data, and platform policies support changeable facts. Missing information stays unconfirmed.
Show the trade-off
We state who benefits, who should avoid the option, and which assumption changes the answer. No offer is universally best.
Add Japan evidence
Local screenshots, device and route checks, signage, prices, and original calculations must add value beyond merchant copy.
Separate money from rank
Commission can fund the work but never sets the ranking. Commercial relationships appear beside the relevant action.
Recheck and correct
Commercial facts are rechecked before use and at least every 90 days. Material corrections preserve an update trail.
How AI is used
AI helps structure source notes, calculate comparisons, draft and repurpose content, and flag stale facts. It may not invent testing, ownership, local experience, price, availability, or outcomes. Material claims receive human review.
Corrections
Show the change, not just the new answer.
Material corrections will include the date, affected claim, source, and what changed. During this owner-only preview, corrections are logged in the project repository; a public contact route will be added before open launch.
