Methodology
Facts should come with provenance.
Find Good School is designed to show not only a school fact, but also where it came from, when it was checked and what the status means.
Collect
Obtain public government, regulator, programme and certification records under documented source terms.
Preserve
Store the original source release, retrieval time and checksum so the evidence can be reproduced.
Match
Resolve legal organisations, institutions and campuses without relying on school name alone.
Review
Route conflicts, closures, uncertain matches and sensitive status changes for human review.
Publish
Release an approved version with sources, dates and clear content-class labels.
Maintain
Process new source releases incrementally and retain public material change history.
What payment cannot change
A school may pay for presentation, media, enquiries and profile verification services. Payment cannot change government status, programme authorisation, third-party certification or natural search facts.
