Evidence & Sources
How this website distinguishes official records, independent reporting, organisation accounts and personal recollections.
Source types
Official records
Statements from the relevant public authority or awarding body establish what it recorded or recognised.
Example · Checked 6 November 2026 · CTSI award record
Independent reporting
Reporting establishes what a publisher reported. Where a report describes allegations or suspicions, those remain attributed.
Example · Checked 6 November 2026 · The Guardian’s reporting on online reviews
Organisation reports
KwikChex publications describe its activities and its account of events. Case pages identify the publisher so readers can assess that perspective.
Example · Checked 6 November 2026 · KwikChex coverage of Rip Off Britain
First-person recollections
The career account describes Chris’s own recollections. Independently documented outcomes are identified separately.
