INTEL FILE — STANDARD OF PRACTICE
EDITORIAL POLICY
This page exists so you can judge this site's reliability without taking its word for anything. It states how figures are sourced, what the word "verified" does and does not mean here, how facts are kept separate from opinion, and what this site explicitly does not claim.
SECTION 01
01Sourcing Standard
Every number, date and title on this site should be traceable to a named source, and that source should be linked at the article level — not just to a publication's homepage. Where a figure comes from a publisher's own announcement, that announcement is cited directly.
| Source class | Used for | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Rights-holder primary sources | Release dates, sales figures, platform lists, corporate announcements | First choice |
| Named trade reporting | Box office, casting, production, review aggregation snapshots | First choice where no primary source publishes |
| Review aggregators | Metascores and Tomatometer values, quoted per platform | Cited to the specific score page |
| Community databases | Playtime estimates and mod catalogues, where no official figure exists | Last resort, and labelled as an estimate |
Unattributed quotations. Figures with no traceable origin. Fabricated organisations, certifications, reports or review scores. Content copied from another site without credit. Where a figure cannot be sourced, the correct action here is to leave it out or mark it plainly as unconfirmed — not to soften it into a hedge.
SECTION 02
02Facts, Opinion and Promotion
These three are not mixed on this site. Each type is labelled by position and by wording, so a reader can tell which is which at a glance.
| Type | How it appears | Test |
|---|---|---|
| Fact | Stat cards, data tables and the sources-list block beneath them | Has a named, linked source. If it can't be sourced, it isn't stated as fact. |
| Opinion | Prose sections and FAQ answers, worded as assessment ("the best entry point", "reads as", "critics considered") | Presented as a judgement with reasoning, never as a measurement. |
| Promotion | Standalone call-to-action blocks inviting you to play the free browser game on this site | Always self-promotion for our own free game — never disguised as editorial, and never a claim about Resident Evil. |
The site carries no advertising, no sponsorship, no affiliate links and no paid placement. There is nothing here that can be bought, so there is no commercial pressure on what these pages say.
SECTION 03
03What "Verified" Means Here — And What It Does Not
Verified on this site means: the figure has been checked against at least one named, linked public source, that source is named on the page itself, and the figure carries whatever qualifier its scope requires (platform, date, region, or "publisher-reported").
Verified does not mean: that this site is an authority on Resident Evil. It is a fan archive. It is not a primary source, it does not have access to Capcom or Sony Pictures, and it cannot adjudicate between conflicting reports. Where sources disagree, the page should say so rather than pick a winner silently.
For the avoidance of doubt, this site makes none of the following claims, and any statement to the contrary should be treated as an error:
• that it has been audited, certified or endorsed by any authority, or that its content is "independently verified" as a whole;
• that it is an official Capcom or Sony Pictures source, or affiliated with either;
• that any figure here should be cited in place of the original source — cite the source named on the page, not this site;
• that any improvement to AI search visibility is guaranteed, promised or implied. This is a fan archive, not a marketing service, and no such outcome is offered or warranted.
SECTION 04
04Review Cycle & Responsibility
| Item | Practice |
|---|---|
| Responsibility | The Outbreak Protocol editor, named on the contact page. One person compiles, checks and publishes; that person is accountable for what appears. |
| Review trigger | Every page is re-checked when its subject changes (new patch, new release window, new box-office actual) and at least once per quarter otherwise. |
| Volatile figures | Sales, box office and review aggregates carry the date or window they refer to. A figure without a date is treated as a defect. |
| Corrections | Logged publicly in the corrections log with old value, new value and source. No silent edits to a published figure. |
| External correction requests | Corrections and rights-holder takedown requests are actioned ahead of everything else, and acknowledged by reply. |
| Frozen pages | If a page cannot be kept current, it should be marked as an archived snapshot with its date rather than left to drift. |
