Standards

This page explains the principles behind the site’s data publishing choices. It is useful both for users and as a trust signal across the wider Data Pulse Live network.

Core standards

  • Prefer primary or official sources whenever practical
  • Label estimates clearly when the page is interpolating between published values
  • Separate source facts from commentary
  • Update broken or outdated pages as quickly as possible
  • Disclose when two pages use different but related source definitions

Why this page exists

A small data site earns more trust when visitors can see how it handles data quality, errors, source definitions, and corrections. This page also gives you a template you can mirror on Data Pulse Live and Gas Prices Live for network-wide consistency.
