1 · Identify

Name the source type first

Each item should be readable as reporting, Tynwald, government, FOI, tender, event, weather, tide, travel or commercial context before the reader opens another tab.

2 · Confirm

Follow the authoritative source

Use the original outlet or public record for claims, dates, deadlines, safety notes and official wording. Secondary guides are for context, not final authority.

3 · Act

Choose the safe next step

After checking the source, readers can quote it, respond to a consultation, plan travel, send a correction, share the public route or subscribe for tomorrow.
