Publishing
How we publish
WhatsDo publishes every document here. Each page carries a published date, a modified date and the date its claims were last checked. Sources are named even when they are internal records with no public URL, and product status comes from our capability record rather than from marketing copy.
Sources and how they are labeled
Every factual claim traces to a source with a date. A public source is linked. An internal one is named as a local record and left unlinked.
A vendor support flag is not a source for what an action does.
Dates and re-checking
Published, updated and checked are three separate dates. Checked is the one that matters on a status-sensitive page, because a document can be unchanged and still out of date.
Pages describing live capability are re-read whenever the product boundary moves.
What we will not publish
No invented quotations or dialogue. No composite customer. No merchant name, logo or result without written permission. No other company's reported outcome presented as ours. No number without its method, sample and date.
Corrections
A corrected page keeps its published date, takes a new modified date and states what changed. Where a claim turns out to be unsupported, it comes down instead of being softened into ambiguity.
