Publication standard

What makes a release auditable?

  1. Primary sources.Every recorded price links to the official vendor page observed on the check date.
  2. Explicit formula.Calculated fields identify their inputs and can be reproduced from the CSV or JSON.
  3. Visible exclusions.Taxes, implementation, add-ons, usage, internal labor, and negotiated terms are not hidden inside a headline.
  4. Stable identity.Canonical URLs, Dataset schema, versioned files, and cite-as headers keep references connected.
  5. Correction path.Readers can report a changed price or source to contact@riaselect.com.
