Verification protocol

How we verify.

  1. 01

    Scope

    Your description becomes a fixed research plan: residence, assets, destinations, the questions that decide the move.

  2. 02

    Sources

    Research runs against a fixed, published list of primary and professional reference domains. The current list:

    • taxsummaries.pwc.com
    • gov.uk
    • bundesfinanzministerium.de
    • gesetze-im-internet.de
    • impots.gouv.fr
    • agenziaentrate.gov.it
    • tax.gov.ae
    • mof.gov.ae
    • oecd.org
    • europa.eu
    • admin.ch
    • estv.admin.ch
    • irs.gov
    • hmrc.gov.uk
    • portaldasfinancas.gov.pt
    • belastingdienst.nl
  3. 03

    Citations

    Every figure is pinned to an exact passage of its source, with the source title and URL stored alongside the figure.

  4. 04

    Freshness

    Each cited source is fetched again on the day your brief is generated. The confirmation date is printed next to the figure.

  5. 05

    Independent check

    A second pass re-reads only the quoted passage and must extract the same number. A mismatch removes the figure from the publishable set; a partial match is published only with a confirm-with-your-advisor flag.

  6. 06

    Arithmetic

    The brief’s summary table is recomputed in code from the verified inputs. Prose never carries a calculation on its own.

  7. 07

    Exclusion

    Anything that fails a step above is listed in the brief's excluded-figures section and appears nowhere else.

  8. 08

    Review

    Items the verifier flags are excluded or marked “confirm with your advisor”. A named professional countersignature for flagship briefs is in preparation.

What a brief is

Orientation material, prepared for review with a qualified tax advisor. Figures carry sources and dates so your advisor can work from them directly.

What a brief is not

A brief files nothing, represents you nowhere and replaces no professional judgement. Where law or facts are ambiguous, the brief says so.

If a cited source fails to support a figure in your brief, you receive a full refund.

Briefs are machine-generated. The methodology above is enforced in code at generation time.
