About This Site

[PLACEHOLDER: write the /about/ lede, about 200 characters. Rule 9: do NOT name the affiliate payment arrangement on this page. That wording belongs in the footer, on /disclosure/ and on /faq/, nowhere else.]

Who Writes This

[PLACEHOLDER: write about 400 characters on who is behind the site. There is NO named author, NO byline and NO photograph: the site speaks as an honest editorial desk and AUTHOR.pending stays true. Write in that voice, never as a persona, and never invent a local correspondent. ABSOLUTE, approved at the Phase C gate and binding on every page of this site: no first-person experiential claim anywhere. No "I walked", no "when I visited", no "we took this tour", no dated anecdote, no claim to have been on any operator product. The voice is research and reporting: what official sources, operator listings and live public data say, and who says it. Where the donor would have written experience, write attribution. Do not give the desk a name, a face or a biography it does not have.]

How the Figures Here Are Checked

[PLACEHOLDER: write about 450 characters on verification: every rating, review count and from-price is the booking platform's own published figure, re-pulled single-locale at build, and a figure the two verification passes disagree on is shown as "on the listing" rather than invented. research/tours-verify.json is the record. Every figure must already be in research/oslo-facts-verified.md. research/banned-facts.md is binding: nothing on that list may appear, be approximated, or be implied. Do NOT name a booking platform on this page; rule 8 allows that only in the footer, on /disclosure/ and in schema.]

How This Site Makes Money

[PLACEHOLDER: write about 300 characters. It may link to /disclosure/ for the detail. Rule 9: this is one of the surfaces where the word "commission" is allowed (the footer, /disclosure/, /faq/ and the /about/ transparency section). Every other page must avoid it. This page is the one trust page allowed a transparency section that names the arrangement, and build/qa-dist.py exempts /about/ accordingly.]

What This Site Will Not Do

[PLACEHOLDER: write about 350 characters: no invented figure, no fake scarcity, no paid placement, no first-person claim the desk cannot honestly make, no proprietary study it did not run, and no Prohibition-era crime story repackaged as safety advice.]
