Accuracy over speed
When details are developing, we label them clearly and update as new verified information becomes available.
Open-records requests are a core tool for accountability.
We start with a specific public-interest question and identify which agency likely holds the relevant records.
We request records with tight date ranges and clear descriptions to reduce delays and costs, then refine as needed.
We review documents for accuracy and corroboration, and protect sensitive personal information when appropriate.
We publish findings with clear sourcing and context the public can understand what the records do and do not show.
We aim to publish in a way that is useful to the public and fair to the facts.
When details are developing, we label them clearly and update as new verified information becomes available.
We cite and link to primary documents when possible, explain methods, and publish corrections visibly.
We will minimize harm: avoid doxxing, respect victims, and handle sensitive records with care.
If we publish an error, we will correct it promptly and note what changed. Use the contact form to request a correction and include the URL plus supporting documentation when available.
Do NOT send SSNs, driver’s license numbers, medical information, or any info that is protected by law.
