What counts as checked

A fact is in good shape when two independent public sources say it: a store listing plus an independent news story. A developer page and its Wayback archive are the same publisher and count as one voice. One source stays labeled “1 source.” I do not promote a search snippet to a second source. When two pages disagree, I print both figures with their names. Regional store ratings are labeled by context or left blank rather than turned into one universal score. BBC Hindi’s 12 states for Modi Run is not rounded into another count.

I do not estimate downloads, file sizes, or release years. If the developer never printed a first-release date, the cell stays empty. A sitemap lastmod is a file date. A Wayback capture proves the page existed that day, not that the studio launched that morning.

The first-person note at the bottom of each page says what judgment I made. It is not a lab report. Borders of the research sit in one Limitation sentence. Video is used for “which game is this clip,” not for a version number, unless the developer page says the same thing.

What we will not publish

No hosted APKs, no modded packages, no political endorsements, and no star rating written by us. Store stars are quoted as the store’s figure. Corrections arrive through the contact mailbox and should carry a link. The sources page lists the method in one place; each article repeats only the links it used.
