Editorial & Evidence Policy
We aim to give KOTAMON players accurate, useful, and honest information. This page explains how we source content and what we do when we are uncertain.
Source hierarchy
- Official sources — developer posts, the Steam store page, patch notes, and official trailers.
- Observable retail footage — gameplay recorded from the released or publicly available build, with context.
- Established guides and reviews — reputable publications with clear sourcing.
- Community discussions — used for demand, recurring symptoms, and candidate workarounds, not as proof of universal mechanics.
What we do not do
- We do not invent card stats, drop rates, coordinates, or prices.
- We do not use beta footage to describe retail mechanics.
- We do not copy official artwork, screenshots, or card illustrations.
- We do not turn a single Reddit complaint into a universal fact.
- We do not publish video-only pages; every guide must be readable without playing an embed.
How we handle uncertainty
When a value or mechanic is not confirmed, we label it "unknown," "not visible in public footage," or "community-reported." We prefer an honest gap over a fabricated detail.

Corrections
If official information changes (for example, after a patch or new trailer), we update the relevant pages and bump the updatedAt date. Readers can report errors through the Contact page.
