Our credibility

• For each individual report, we justify our claims in footnotes, appendices or other reports. If you see a claim that isn’t backed up by a link or citation, you can assume there’s no further justification.
• We ask experts in the relevant area to check our articles for mistakes before we publish them.
• We make it easy to critique our work by giving a summary of our key findings, explaining our research process, flagging key judgement calls and stating our key uncertainties.
