Source leads and automated probes are review inventory. They become verified anchors only after Hugin can attach the public record, legal posture, and no-allegation guardrails.

Living peopleFor living people, publish only source-backed roles, legal posture, and exact record relationships; do not infer intent or liability.

Victim protectionDo not expose private consumer narratives, account details, medical/financial identifiers, precise location data, or personal complaint details unless an official record makes narrow quotation necessary.

Social leadsSocial posts can point to a source queue, but consumer-protection claims require official agency, court, complaint-data, or enforcement records.

Association firewall

No guilt by proximity

A company, adviser, broker, lender, platform, or data broker appearing in a complaint database, warning letter, or enforcement index is a public-record relationship only.

Public utility

Help grow the source queue

Hugin accepts public records, not accusations. A submitted URL lands in a review lane, gets source-validated, and only becomes a case anchor after the evidence rules and privacy gates are satisfied.

Fact-check status is a review posture, not a verdict. Source-scout rows are leads until a reviewer joins them to publishable anchors; claim-ledger rows are timeline-derived and still require source validation plus no-allegation guardrails before promotion.

Contribution guide

Submit sources, not claims

A source is a public URL someone else can inspect. A claim is an interpretation. Hugin queues sources first and keeps claims out until a reviewed public record supports the exact wording.

Accepted

Official agency pages, court dockets, congressional releases, civil records, state updates, and public repositories with source URLs.

Publisher, date, record family, and why the URL belongs in this file.

Source URLs first. Context is welcome, but claims do not publish from submissions alone.

Not accepted

Private tips, survivor identifiers, sealed or leaked material, graphic details, and private contact data.

Screenshots or social posts without a public source URL.

Misconduct labels for living people unless the exact cited public record supports that exact statement.
