How this data is verified
Each platform's official fee page is checked automatically on a schedule (roughly every 6 hours) directly against its published content. A rule is marked Verified once it has been extracted and matched against the page's actual wording; a rule is marked Needs review when the automated check can extract a candidate rule but isn't confident enough in it to treat it as confirmed — it is never shown as an active, confirmed fee.
Some sources occasionally block automated requests. When that happens, this site shows it honestly as no verified data available, rather than guessing or displaying stale information.
