Accountability & data sourcing
Authoria keeps a record of what public sources say about each local business. Every claim links to the source it came from.
Who writes this
Profiles are written and maintained by Authoria. A business can submit a correction, and we publish it as their own statement alongside the record.
When sources disagree
When sources disagree, the record shows each side. When they are silent, it says so.
