Editorial policy

The rules

1. Every factual claim carries a source and a date. Wage rates, subsidy amounts, trade durations and entry requirements are quoted from a named government page, with the date we read it at the bottom of the page. If we cannot source it, it does not go up.
2. We do not publish a listing we cannot verify. A company appears in the index only if it is a real, identifiable New Zealand business whose own website resolves, and the listing records the site it was checked against and when.
3. We assert name, trade and region — nothing else. No ratings, no rankings, no characterisation of any employer as good or bad.
4. No review is published that a real apprentice did not write. There is currently no review mechanism on this site at all.
5. Where a source is silent, we say nothing. We do not fill gaps with what sounds plausible.
6. Any listed business can have its listing corrected or removed on request, without having to explain why. Contact us.

What we still do not have

Reviews. Getting real ones requires a moderation policy, a right of reply for the businesses named, and apprentices willing to write them. Until all three exist, this site carries none — and its name is a statement of intent rather than a description.
