How public research data is governed

Public pages may show aggregate report counts, broad visa groups, question families, interview settings, coarse outcomes, and normalized examples that clear minimum sample thresholds.

We do not publish usernames, source URLs, complete posts, raw transcripts, raw answers, exact timestamps tied to a report, ordered question sequences, small consulate cohorts, or private personalization logic.

• Topic statistics require at least 25 distinct reports across three months.
• Representative wording requires support from at least 10 distinct reports.
• Outcome reporting requires at least 50 reports in the parent cohort.
• Low-volume categories are suppressed or combined rather than exposed.

Concerns about privacy, deletion, provenance, or published aggregates can be submitted through the corrections process. Affected releases are reviewed and updated where appropriate.
