Every correction, in public.
When a fact in the BC Real Estate Codex changes — a tax bracket reform, a new exemption threshold, a corrected source URL — the prior value is preserved and surfaced here. This is the public counterpart to /transparency: the verification trail shows what we believe today; the corrections log shows what we used to believe and when we updated.
Process documented at /methodology. Found something that's still wrong? Report an inaccuracy.
