Traceable foundations
Official data, made understandable.
For Germany we use sources including the Federal Employment Agency and BIBB; for the UK we use official government and careers sources for each nation.
Primary sources first
Occupational standards, system rules and entry information come from responsible authorities.
Review dates
Editorial content carries sources and a visible review date.
Corrections
Reports are reviewed, documented and updated by market when needed.
Our source hierarchy
For system rules we start with the accountable authority or mandated institute. For occupations we use official standards and careers services. Editorial explanation may make those sources easier to understand but must not remove authority or limitation.
• 1. Law, rule or accountable primary source.
• 2. Official occupational standard or public careers service.
• 3. Our reviewed editorial explanation.
• 4. Clearly labelled secondary source only as context.
What happens when sources conflict
We do not silently choose the most convenient claim. Editors check authority, market, date and any transition rule. Until resolved, the statement is limited or removed. Material changes trigger review and cache refresh for the affected language version.
• Inventory the conflict and affected pages.
• Resolve primary authority and scope.
• Document correction, date and impact.
• Review the translation separately rather than changing it blindly.
