Jump to any public page from mobile without losing the side-rail structure on desktop.
These terms explain the basic use model for the public site: open reading access, heavy reliance on external primary sources, and a clear boundary between reporting and professional advice.
These pages exist to make the publication model legible instead of burying legal and trust information in a dark corner.
The public site is readable without a paywall or login. Visitors may browse stories, investigations, standards pages, and public source links without creating an account. That access model does not create a warranty that every page is complete forever or that every reporting thread is finished.
The site links heavily to public filings, agency releases, court records, and other third-party materials. Those sources remain subject to their own terms, updates, removals, and archival behavior. A linked source disappearing later does not mean the site's responsibility disappears. It does mean the public record can move and may need to be refreshed.
Nothing on the public site should be treated as legal, medical, financial, or personal professional advice. The reporting may cover those systems, but it does not replace licensed counsel or clinical care. The site is a records-based editorial publication, not a substitute for professional decision-making.
Pages, story slugs, source stacks, and public tools may change as reporting develops. When they do, the site should prefer redirects, update notes, and visible freshness signals over silent breakage. The same rule applies to future reader features. If an account layer, exports, or notifications are added later, the public site terms should expand with them.
