Methodology

How we work, and why you can check us.

Argent Public publishes from the public record only. Our work can be verified by anyone, line by line.

Our principles

  1. Everything is sourced. Every factual claim links to a public document — a decree, contract, report, financial statement, or official release.
  2. Everything is archived. For each source we provide a live link and an archived copy (Wayback Machine and/or archive.today), so the evidence survives even if the original page disappears.
  3. No speculation. We document what is. Where the record is incomplete, we say so explicitly rather than fill the gaps.
  4. Facts kept separate from analysis. Figures and quotations are presented as they stand. Any added context is clearly marked.
  5. Public corrections. Any error is corrected, dated, and explained in the corrections log.

How to read a dossier

Every dossier follows the same four-part structure:

  • The question — what we set out to establish.
  • The evidence — the public documents that answer it.
  • The cost — what it means for public funds.
  • The change sought — the decision or accountability expected.
