Sources and methods

The news coverage on pairandbond is compiled from published feeds and indexes of established news publications in the United Kingdom. These sources are selected for their consistent reporting on the site's core subjects: the relationship situation and the practical skill that helps with it. Each story is identified, summarised, and rewritten with automated assistance to extract the central factual claim or development. The original publication is always clearly credited as the source of the report.

When a factual claim appears in only one publication, it is treated as a single-source report. Such items are published with a note identifying the sole source. This approach allows pairandbond to track emerging discussions while maintaining transparency about the provenance of the information.

The site's reference pages, such as those for a Skill, Difficulty, or legal topic, are built differently. They are constructed from stable, widely-acknowledged facts drawn from multiple authoritative sources. Each reference page centres on a concise facts table and includes one credited photograph. These pages are intended as static reference points, distilling consensus understanding on a given topic.

All content on pairandbond is subject to scheduled review. News items are refreshed continuously as new reports are published. The reference pages are reviewed and updated on a quarterly cycle to ensure the factual tables reflect current consensus and that any legal or practical information remains correct. This process maintains the utility of the site's resources over time.
