Tested Guides

Guides that say how they know.

Each guide states what is verified, when it was verified, and what is still pending. No guide on this site invents test dates, prices, or experiences. Field-test details (date, city, office, cost, time) are marked pending until a real walkthrough fills them in — then the badge changes to tested.
