Find answers about our sources, verification process, updates, corrections and how No Dey Doubt presents the public record.
Published information should be traceable to identifiable sources and, where relevant, a specific reporting period.
Official records, legislation, gazettes, audited accounts and recognised government datasets form the primary evidence base.
Multilateral institutions, peer-reviewed research and recognised analytical sources can provide additional context and evidence.
Credible media may provide context or leads, while material claims should be traced back to supporting evidence where available.
No Dey Doubt separates what was announced or planned from what can be documented as delivered.
A public announcement records an intention or decision. It is not treated as proof that delivery has occurred.
An approval, appropriation or funding commitment is recorded separately from implementation and completed delivery.
Evidence that implementation has started is presented separately from an operational or completed result.
A documented outcome requires evidence supporting what was delivered, where appropriate.
Evidence can change, new information can emerge and published records can require correction. Changes should remain visible rather than being silently removed.
Records may be reviewed as new evidence, updated data or relevant developments become available.
Substantive corrections should be documented so readers can understand what changed and why.
“Under review” means the available evidence is still being examined and a final finding has not yet been established.
Possible errors and supporting sources can be submitted for review. A submission does not guarantee publication or a particular finding.
Citizens can help strengthen the public record by submitting a possible error together with the source or evidence that supports the concern.
Identify the claim, project, policy or information that you believe needs checking.
Include the relevant source, document, data or other evidence that supports your submission.
Provide contact information where appropriate so the submission can be followed up.
Public information is more useful when the source is visible, the status is clear and the evidence can be examined.
