How OfferLattice earns confidence.
OfferLattice is built to help people evaluate offers—not to hide the difference between editorial judgment and monetization. This center explains how scoring, evidence, freshness, verification, affiliate relationships, and corrections are handled.
Freshness Methodology
Freshness decays as verification gets older. Recent review is a signal of recency, not a permanent quality badge.
View freshness model →Evidence & Provenance
Offer pages can link to supporting source records so readers can distinguish documented evidence from unsupported assertions.
Browse offers with evidence →Affiliate Disclosure
OfferLattice may earn compensation from some outbound links. Affiliate participation is separated from buyer usefulness and does not automatically improve a score.

SEPARATION Buyer usefulness and affiliate economics are evaluated as different signals.
PROVENANCE Verifiable sources are preferred for pricing, product, merchant, network, policy, and program claims.
TRADEOFFS High-scoring offers should still document meaningful limitations or drawbacks.
FRESHNESS Older information loses freshness rather than remaining permanently “current.”
READINESS Incomplete records and comparison shells should remain draft or under review rather than appearing finished.
NO INVENTION OfferLattice should not invent commission rates, cookie windows, verification status, customer reviews, evidence sources, or performance claims.
Corrections and changing information
Offers change. Pricing, features, program terms, merchant policies, and network participation may become stale. When reliable new information conflicts with an existing record, the record should be reviewed and corrected rather than preserved for consistency.
Verification dates indicate when an item was reviewed; they are not guarantees that external information has remained unchanged since that date.
What “verified” means
A verified merchant, source, or offer record means the relevant information was reviewed against available evidence at a particular point in time. Verification is not an endorsement, warranty, guarantee of performance, or prediction of future results.
