A practical method, with its limits.

Create a claim-and-source note that keeps the proposition, source type and limits in one place.

The question this resource answers

Create a claim-and-source note that keeps the proposition, source type and limits in one place. It is written for editors checking a product statement, with the focus kept on source desk. The aim is a usable record or calculation rather than another generic product-ranking page.

Gather the inputs before interpreting the result

The worksheet asks for: Exact statement being evaluated; Primary source URL; Source type: label, study, review or other; What the source actually establishes; What remains unverified. Keep the relevant package, item reference or source document nearby when completing a field. If the source does not establish a fact, leave it unresolved rather than replacing it with a plausible assumption.

How the working is performed

Write the claim narrowly enough to check. Identify whether the source describes the exact product or a broader category. Record support separately from interpretation; the tool formats that record without opening the URL.

Work through a concrete case

A package document might support a stated unit volume. It would not, by itself, establish a comparative health outcome. Keep those propositions in separate records.

What the result cannot establish

A valid-looking URL is not proof. This tool does not verify documents, research quality or the truth of a claim. Review the original item and source before turning a worksheet result into a purchase statement. A calculation can be correct while an input is incomplete, outdated or attached to the wrong product.

Retain a reviewable record

Keep the date, item identity and the source behind any product-specific statement. If you share an output, retain its assumptions and limitations alongside it. Use the interactive tool to reproduce the working rather than presenting an unexplained number or verdict.
