  2. Add independent evidenceStudies, reputable reporting and user reviews, each linked.
  3. Label what’s unconfirmedFigures that only appear in third-party sources are marked “reported”, and conflicts are explained.
  4. Date every guideEach page shows when it was last checked, because plans, limits and features change often.
  5. Re-check when things changeWhen Perplexity changes plans, models or features, affected guides are reviewed and updated.
