How the guides are made

  • Sources citedEvery important piece of information refers to an official text, a ministry document or an identified article, listed at the end of the guide.
  • A date of verificationEach guide states when the texts and sources were last checked.
  • Disagreements flaggedWhen sources do not say the same thing, the guide says so, instead of picking a figure at random.
  • Concrete actionsChecklists, worked examples, questions to ask: everything you need to act, not just to understand.
  • Real casesCases followed closely, presented without names: what really happened, how much it cost and how long it took.
