Methodology

Uncovered Truths is built around source-backed consumer evidence. The aim is to show hidden costs and practical friction without pretending that every incomplete source can support a hard conclusion.

What we track

We prioritise subscriptions, household services, cancellation routes, renewal terms, free trials, headline-price gaps and small-print conditions that can materially change the cost or effort of a consumer decision.

What counts as evidence

Strong evidence includes current provider pages, terms, regulator publications, documented price pages, dated manual captures and clearly attributable public sources. Each guide should make its evidence base visible.

What we estimate

Some pages may use examples to show annualised cost, renewal exposure or contract-period impact. Estimates must be labelled as examples and should not be presented as universal outcomes.

What we do not claim

We do not claim that a provider is illegal, a scam, the cheapest, the best or uniquely misleading unless the evidence is strong enough and the wording has been reviewed. Most findings should be framed as cost exposure, friction or evidence limits.

Affiliate links

Some future pages may include disclosed referral links. Commercial relationships must not set evidence labels, rankings or conclusions. If a link earns referral income, the page should say so near the relevant action.

Review cadence

Pages should carry a last-reviewed date once the consumer evidence content model is in place. High-change areas such as pricing, trials and contract terms should be reviewed more often than static explainers.

Corrections

If a page is wrong, outdated or missing important context, the correction should be handled visibly and the reviewed date should change. Quiet corrections are bad trust theatre.

Advice boundary

Uncovered Truths provides consumer information and practical checklists. It does not provide legal, financial, insurance, investment, debt or regulated advice.
