How we work

Desk research vs field experience

Unless a piece states a visit date and verification method, treat it as desk research: synthesized from named primary, official, and scholarly sources, checked against traveler logistics (tickets, hours, dress, transit, payments). We do not invent first-person visits. When we have field notes or dated site checks, we say so explicitly.

On visit guides, look for a freshness line such as: Last verified: [Month Year] · Method: desk research · Author: [Name].

AI disclosure

• Assisted drafting — Articles may use AI to structure and draft from approved research.
• Bylines & pen names — Some authors publish under a stable byline (for example Kingshuk K). We disclose that on the author profile; we do not invent prior publication credits or fake social profiles for a new pen name.
• What we never invent — Ticket prices, hours, first-person visits, Source URLs, or LocalBusiness addresses.

Entity & logistics honesty

• One primary entity → one indexable URL
• Landmark visit guides carry a Key Data Matrix when data exists
• No fabricated Sources URLs; no hollow Review/Menu schema
