We distinguish three kinds of evidence:

• In-game testing covers steps performed in Cobbleverse and screenshots captured during play.
• Bundled-data extraction covers deterministic records parsed from the modpack snapshot, including species, moves, abilities, items, recipes, shops, and other configuration.
• External sources provide upstream documentation or context and are linked when they materially support a claim.

Authored guidance is reviewed against the strongest available primary evidence before publication. A generated data record is not treated as proof that a player-facing route or strategy has been tested.

When a claim depends on a Cobbleverse or Cobblemon version, the team records the applicable version with the guide update or its visible version note. Older guidance without a confirmed version is treated as needing re-verification, not as universally current.

Player reports start a correction check. We reproduce the issue when practical, compare it with the relevant bundled-data snapshot, update the page, and retain the repository history of the change. Use the Contact page to report a problem.

• We do not invent facts to fill gaps in available evidence.
• Untested information is not labeled as in-game verified, and uncertainty should be stated or the claim omitted.
• AI assistance, when used for drafting, organization, or code, does not count as evidence. A team member must review the result against primary evidence before publication.
• Corrections should improve accuracy, not hide a previous source or overstate what was checked.
