Every guide is checked against primary US sources before it goes live: CFPB consumer-lending publications, IRS digital-asset guidance, and SEC filings. When a platform changes its terms, we date the update and note what moved.
Each figure we publish carries a dated, named source; anything we cannot verify against a primary document is left out rather than estimated.
