How we review and fact-check

Government figures

Every rate, threshold and fee links to an official source: canada.ca (CRA), saskatchewan.ca and Saskatchewan bulletins, alberta.ca, ISC, WCB Saskatchewan or WCB-Alberta.
Each page shows the date it was last checked. the Prairie Contractor team re-checks figures each January, when CPP and tax brackets change, and when a bulletin is revised.
Tax and legal pages are checked line by line against the official sources linked on each page before they're published. They aren't reviewed by a lawyer or accountant, and they aren't advice. For your own situation, talk to one.
Calculators show their formula, the figures they use, and a worked example you can check by hand.

Prices come from the vendor's own pricing page and are dated. If the page doesn't show a clear price or currency, we say "check current price" or "currency not stated" instead of guessing. Where the vendor labels a currency, we use that label (for example US$ or CAD).
Comparison pages are based on public pricing and plan pages, and say so.
A page is only called a review after we've used a real account on realistic jobs, with our own screenshots. Pages without that are labelled as not hands-on.
Referral fees don't decide rankings. If a free tool fits best, we say so, even when it pays us nothing.
Our own service: on the Get found page we list Prairie Digital Designs, which the same team runs. We put free options first and say clearly which option is ours.

Found something wrong or out of date? Tell us and we'll fix it and update the checked date.
