The standard before a tool appears here

  • Its advertised experience works today on this site.
  • It shows a worked example, its assumptions, and its limits on the page.
  • It states where any sourced information comes from and when it was reviewed.
  • It never asks for a passport number, tax identifier, account number, password, or original file.
  • It never decides eligibility, residency, tax, immigration, or an official deadline.

The wider catalog remains private until another tool meets this standard. Nothing listed here is a placeholder.
