This site exists for Canadian Honda buyers, so it treats a US-market number on a Canadian page as a bug, not a shortcut — a fuel-economy figure quoted the American way, a US price, a US-market feature list. Automotive content is full of numbers copied from whichever site ranked first. The rules below are how this site avoids becoming that.
The rules
1 · Official Canadian sources only
Specs, prices, warranty terms, and feature claims come from official Canadian sources — honda.ca, the Honda Canada Newsroom, Honda of Canada Manufacturing, owners.honda.ca — and the official Canadian sites of competitor brands for their vehicles. US-market sources, Wikipedia, and aggregator car sites are not acceptable sources for a Canadian-market claim. Press photos are the one exception, credited to their origin.
2 · One canonical reference file
Recurring Honda Canada facts live in a single reference file that is itself public — HONDA_CANADA_FACTS.json. If a fact isn't in the file, it gets verified and added before it can be published. Nothing is written from memory.
3 · An automated gate
Every publish runs an automatic fact-check that scans the site's pages against the reference file. A claim that conflicts with the reference blocks the publish — literally, the publishing process exits with an error and nothing goes live until the conflict is resolved.
4 · Delete, don't hedge
If a specific figure can't be confirmed against an official Canadian source, it is deleted and the sentence rewritten in accurate non-specific language. An unverifiable number with a disclaimer next to it is still an unverifiable number.
5 · Independent cross-checks
Factual claims are verified by more than one independent check before publishing. When checks disagree, the claim is not published on a coin flip — it goes to Henry, who resolves it from dealer-side documents: window stickers, program sheets, delivery paperwork.
6 · Data published raw
The site's data products expose their raw series for anyone to audit: the prediction scorecard publishes its full ledger, and the rate & incentive tracker publishes its complete history. Version control preserves every snapshot, so neither can be quietly rewritten.
The corrections log
When something wrong is found on the site, it gets fixed against the official source and the fix is recorded — permanently. The entries below are shown verbatim from the site's engineering change history, newest first ("zh" refers to the Chinese-language mirror; "sources" refers to the source rules above). A site that claims it never gets anything wrong is less trustworthy, not more.

What this doesn't mean
It doesn't mean the site is infallible. The automated gate is a smell test, not a guarantee — it catches conflicts with known facts, not every possible error. That's exactly why the corrections log exists and stays public.
Predictions are opinions, and they're graded separately. Market calls in the daily briefs are Henry's personal read, clearly marked, and every one is tracked and graded in public on the prediction scorecard — including the misses.
Found an error? Email henry@maplehonda.com. It will be checked against the official source, fixed if wrong, and the fix will appear in the log above.
Questions a website shouldn't answer?
Some things deserve a person, not a page — a trade number on your exact vehicle, a payment on a specific VIN, whether waiting makes sense for you. That's what I'm here for.
