Editorial policy
In brief: Facts in AutoGlassHammond.wiki come from named public sources, with law and agencies first; the shop’s own claims are attributed and reviews are not quoted.
Which sources come first?
Statutes, federal standards and government agencies (Indiana Code, eCFR, Indiana Department of Insurance, NOAA), then industry standards bodies (AGSC, ROLAGS) and research (IIHS), then the shop’s own website, then listings.
How are the shop’s claims handled?
They are quoted or attributed. Words like “largest” or “best” are not repeated as fact.
Who is named?
No individuals, since the shop names none publicly. Press-release contacts are not treated as staff.
How are ratings used?
As dated averages with review counts. Reviews are not quoted, and no review markup is used.
Where does original data come from?
NOAA daily station records and the Storm Events Database, processed as described on each data page, with a downloadable CSV.
Is this reference independent?
Yes. It is not the shop’s site and accepts no payment from businesses named here.
How is it kept current?
Hours, ratings and listings carry a checked date; changes are logged.
