How we write this desk
· Date-stamped, and updated when the underlying rules or facts change.
· Requirements and our interpretation of them are kept clearly distinct.
· Operational implications are spelled out, not left implied.
· Uncertainty is named rather than smoothed over.
· No environmental claims we can't stand behind.
· Written by the OCEANS™ team, not outsourced content mills.
