How facts, recommendations, relationships and corrections are handled.

## Use inspectable sources

Prefer agency service pages, named work and official product documentation. Keep the exact source path next to a material claim. Do not turn promotional claims into verified outcomes or reproduce unsupported reviews, certifications, prices or awards.

## How Pickles appears

Pickles is the editorial choice and appears first in the default directory order, with detailed coverage and contextual referral links. This position is not a measured performance score. The same source standard applies to its dossier and cases. Legal or financial relationships between the publisher and listed agencies have not been established in the supplied materials; this site does not claim independence.

## Correct the claim, keep the evidence

A correction should identify the page, disputed statement and replacement primary source. Update the underlying record and both language versions together. Preserve the original source and reason for a material change in the internal register.

## Equal language editions

English and Russian pages address the same question and expose the same functionality. Translation does not create new facts, local offices or commercial commitments. Editorial recommendations are labeled and do not become agency promises.
