1. Identify the subject
Start with the brand, exact domain, product and intended jurisdiction. Similar names, mirrors and country-specific editions are not automatically the same service. Record the document address and locale so a later check can be repeated.
2. Separate sources
An operator contract establishes what the operator states. A regulator record establishes a specific official finding or register entry. A customer account describes one reported experience. These are separate evidence types and are not combined into an invented score.
3. Check the applicable conditions
Record the company, licence claim, market restrictions, payment rules and promotion conditions. A number without currency, period or scope is incomplete. Conflicting source versions are explained rather than silently reconciled.
4. Describe what was actually done
This edition used publicly accessible source documents and regulatory research. No real-money transactions, live-chat timing or app-install tests were conducted. A future test must record its date, conditions, steps, result and limitations before a first-hand claim is made.
5. Rate only when a model is justified
No stars or aggregate ratings are assigned in this edition. A future scoring system needs published dimensions, weights, missing-data rules and an example calculation. A low evidence count is not itself a finding that a brand is fraudulent.
6. Update substantively
A date changes after a meaningful check, not automatically when a build runs. Keep the previous fact, revised fact, reason and source in the change log. A source that stops resolving changes the evidence status; it does not authorise a guessed replacement.
