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.

How sources are weighted
