TRUST & METHOD

Editorial standards

Truth is governed independently from commercial relationships.

Publication is fail closed

Only PUBLISHED records enter public selectors. A location needs resolvable evidence and a last-verified date. Job listings, commercial relationships, and weak open-web signals do not automatically qualify a business.

Source preference

  1. Official business sources.
  2. Government and public sources.
  3. Forney Economic Development Corporation records.
  4. Approved CCOS governed records.
  5. First-party announcements.

Lifecycle language

Watching, announced, planned, under construction, opening soon, open, temporarily closed, closed, and relocated are Forney Business editorial classifications—not government statuses.

Corrections

Send the record URL, the disputed fact, and a supporting first-party or authoritative source through the contact page. We preserve meaningful history and supersede evidence rather than silently rewriting it.

Commercial separation

Payment may eventually enhance presentation, workflow, or disclosed distribution. It cannot purchase publication, verification, factual status, removal of supported history, or an editorial conclusion.
