Methodology

Corrections and updates

Entries are revised whenever new public records appear. Each takedown page carries the date it was verified and the state the audit left it in, so a correction is visible as a change in both. Corrections are applied to the entry itself rather than appended as a note, and every change the last audit made is published field by field on the corrections page.

A useful correction names three things: the entry it concerns, the field that is wrong, and the document that shows it. Official documents carry the most weight, in the same order used everywhere else here: court filings first, then agency releases, then reporting. A correction that changes a count will also change what the entry says is not established, since a figure moving out of unknown is itself a substantive edit.

A submission address is not published yet. Until it is, the fastest way to see what would need correcting is the coverage gaps table, which already names the searches this index has not run.
