Review scope on this site: state fee caps, statutes, regulator references, lender disclosures, and cost math. The working method is deliberately boring: state numbers come from statutes and regulator publications (both linked on every state page), lender facts come from the lenders’ own sites and loan agreements with a printed verification date, and anything unverifiable reads “not disclosed” instead of being estimated. Pages carry a byline and a last-updated date; when a statute or a disclosure changes, the page changes and the date moves with it. The full standard is in the editorial policy.
