How GreenGuruAI checks information.

01 · Source order

Use the strongest source that can support the claim.

GreenGuruAI generally prefers regulators, legislation, official government guidance, manufacturer documentation and the organisation responsible for the fact before relying on summaries or commentary elsewhere.

A source is not treated as strong merely because it is popular or because another website already uses it.

02 · Evidence classes

Different kinds of evidence stay different.

GreenGuruAI does not collapse every source into one generic “verified” badge. A regulator record, manufacturer instruction, clinic statement, retailer price observation and patient report answer different questions and should remain visibly distinct.

• Regulatory / legal: official regulator, legislation or government material.
• Manufacturer: primary product/device documentation and lifecycle information.
• Provider: clinic, pharmacy or service information published by the responsible organisation.
• Commercial observation: dated price or terms observed from a retailer/provider; not a guarantee of current stock or future price.
• Patient-reported: experience or usability information kept separate from clinical or regulatory evidence.

03 · Unknown and disputed

Unknown stays visibly unknown.

If a required fact cannot be supported, the public record should say unknown, confirm directly, not yet verified, or review required rather than infer a convenient answer.

Where credible sources disagree or the interpretation is fact-specific, GreenGuruAI should show that disagreement instead of compressing it into false certainty.

04 · Dates and freshness

A source can be accurate and still become stale.

Material records carry a checked or reviewed date where practical. Automated monitoring can identify changed or unavailable sources, but a monitor alert does not silently rewrite the public fact. Material changes return to the governed review path.

Different information needs different review cadences. Fast-changing commercial details may need tighter freshness controls than stable explanatory or historical material.

05 · Commercial separation

Payment does not buy a better evidence status.

Commercial relationships, affiliate arrangements or paid enhancements must be disclosed and kept separate from independent comparison fields, evidence confidence and editorial conclusions.

Clinic ordering and comparison outcomes should not be determined by payment.

06 · Corrections

Correct the record without hiding the process.

When a meaningful public fact changes, the correction should follow the normal review and publication controls rather than bypassing them. Governed publication metadata is not manufactured to make an update appear approved.
