Fact-Checking Policy

Smart Start checks terminology, system descriptions, pricing context, and next-step guidance before publication, then revisits those claims when the answer changes.

Before publish

Verify the terms and the logic

Pages should use the correct home-inspection language, separate safety from maintenance, and avoid turning rough cost context into false precision.

After publish

Update when the answer changes

New source material, changed code guidance, clearer cost context, or better next-step advice should trigger a revision instead of waiting for an arbitrary calendar cycle.

How to use Smart Start

Start with the page that matches your stage

  • Start with the article, checklist, or red flag that matches your actual stage instead of reading everything in order.
  • Use the buyer guides before the walkthrough, the issue guides after the report, and the maintenance pages after move-in.
  • Treat the ebook and checklist pages as tools that extend the guides, not as replacements for the education itself.
  • Keep the final walkthrough, glossary, and support pages close so you can verify terms, timing, and next steps quickly.
