Our source standard
Original records first
FactVote prioritizes the agency that produced a statistic or the official repository that publishes a public record. When FRED distributes a government series, the originating agency remains identified. Supporting explainers are labeled separately. Reporting periods and limitations stay attached to the fact rather than being blended into a single score.
