Source Trust Levels: How to Use Official Sites, Third-Party Sites, and Anonymous Posts
Prioritize official-site disclosures and verifiable source links first, then third-party summaries, and treat anonymous posts mainly as caution signals rather than final judgments.
Tier 1: Official Public Information
Use the shop's official pages and official notices for price, hours, booking method, service area, and fee structure. If the same item is published in multiple ways on the official site, compare verification date and specificity and keep the conflict visible instead of choosing only the favorable value.
Tier 2: Third-Party Platforms
Third-party sites can help fill coverage gaps and timing, but methodologies vary. Do not decide based on one platform’s popularity metrics alone.
Tier 3: Anonymous Posts (Primary Use: Risk Signals)
Anonymous content often reflects individual experience and emotion. A repeated pattern with verifiable timing and details can be kept as a risk signal; a single complaint should not be treated as an operational conclusion.
Do Not Fill Missing Information with Assumptions
Treat missing fields as missing. If no international-customer terms are published, we do not infer acceptance. Conflicting fields are labeled as needing confirmation instead of being forced into a single conclusion.
