Automatic detection
The source registry checks official URLs on a risk-based schedule. It validates the allowed authority domain, response status, document type, expected content signals, and content hash. A changed source produces a structured difference instead of silently overwriting facts.
What updates automatically
Unambiguous low-risk metadata—such as an official document title, version label, review date, or redirect within the same authority domain—may update automatically. Medium-risk changes update only when the new official evidence directly supports the replacement fact.
What gets quarantined
Conflicting official sources, missing signals, unexpected domains, and material medical, immigration, or tax changes are quarantined. The previous verified page remains public with its review date; other exams continue updating. The owner is not required to review routine changes.
Report a correction
Email corrections@thecredentialatlas.com. Include:
- the Credential Atlas page URL;
- the sentence or fact that appears wrong;

Do not send copyrighted prep books, recalled exam items, account credentials, or personal records.
Correction record
Material public corrections will note the affected page, corrected fact, source, and date. Typographical changes that do not alter meaning may be fixed without a separate notice.
