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, the record shows each side. When they are silent, it says so.

Every claim links to a public source. Sources are identified by source class:

1 Independent editorialReported or reviewed coverage written outside the business Editorial

2 Press release / wireDistributed announcements or wire copy attributed as that source type Wire

3 Google PlacesContact details — address, phone, hours Identity

4 Business websiteThe business's own account Self-reported

5 Self-published socialPosts or profiles the business publishes on social platforms Self-published

6 Aggregators & directoriesCross-referenced for coverage Directory
