How we verify AC8 guides and scoring data
Source labels, version scope, conflicting claims and the difference between a screenshot and proof.
A guide can be useful without claiming that every sentence has been tested in-game. The important requirement is to make its evidence and scope visible.
Official descriptions
A developer or publisher listing supports basic game descriptions. It does not automatically establish an undocumented scoring formula, mission route or optimal loadout.
Community reports
Record the author and original link. Two pages that quote the same post are not two independent tests. A copied value should retain the original scope and any uncertainty.
Reproducible tests
A tested ruleset needs the game version, mission, difficulty, relevant settings, inputs and actual result. It should include boundary checks, not just one successful example.
Conflicting information
Keep a conflict visible until it can be resolved. Missing values remain empty; reversed time intervals fail validation. The current tool does not certify game-specific ranks.
