Editorial standards

Evidence first, plain structure, a clear position and visible work. This is how that is applied.

Sources

Claims come with a source, a number or a built thing behind them. Where a claim depends on a law, a regulation or official data, I link to the primary source. If I cannot find a reliable source for a number, the number stays out.

Writing about the UAE parts market draws on direct experience of building Spare and working with vendors, garages and buyers. When a point rests on that experience, the article says so.

Positions and opinion

Each article lands somewhere, and hedging is reserved for genuine uncertainty. Pieces that argue a position are labelled as opinion at the top.

Disclosure

I am the founder of Spare. Where Spare is relevant to an article, I mention it and make my interest clear. I link to it only where it helps the reader.

Updates and corrections

When an article is revised in a meaningful way, it shows an updated date. Significant errors are corrected and noted in the article. If you spot one, please get in touch.
