The panel's verdict
Figma scores highest on design and prototyping and collaboration and handoff, both clustering at 6-7: shared styles for color, text, grids and effects, team-wide libraries, AI-generated component sets landing as fully editable layers bound to the customer's tokens and variables, Dev Mode with an MCP server on Professional, and free viewers taking measurements and copying CSS, iOS and Android code without a billing account. Sovereignty is weakest, scores running 0-2: the parent is Figma, Inc. of San Francisco with Figma GmbH, Berlin named in the German imprint, the privacy policy's sub-processors page contents were not captured, and the judges found no public information on EU data residency or where AI processing runs. Brand asset governance clusters at 3-4 — generation of palettes and assets, not governance. Pricing transparency spans 2-4: seat definitions and monthly credit allotments (3,000 credits/month on Professional, 3,500 on Organization, 4,250 on Enterprise, 500 for Collab, Dev, View and Starter) are published, but the captured pricing pages carry no price figures, so an annual cost cannot be computed. No genuine split was recorded between the judges.
Speaks for it
- Free viewers can take measurements, copy CSS, iOS and Android code, export assets and comment without a billing account or extra seats.
- AI-generated components land as fully editable layers that reuse the customer's existing tokens, variables and styles.
- The AI terms state that input and output are Customer Content the customer retains all rights to, with training only while the administrative Content Training toggle is on.
- Monthly AI credit allotments are published: 3,000 credits/month on Professional, 3,500 on Organization, 4,250 on Enterprise, and 500 for Collab, Dev, View and Starter.
- The terms state the customer retains all right, title and interest in Customer Content.
Held against it
- Sovereignty scores run 0-2, with legal entity jurisdiction, ownership, data residency and subprocessor exposure not confirmed on the vendor's pages as captured.
- Brand asset governance scores cluster at 3-4, with the captured pages documenting generation rather than governance.
- The captured pricing pages give plan names and seat definitions with no price figures, so an annual cost cannot be computed.
- Export is per asset — copy as CSS, SVG or PNG, PNG in the desktop app only — and we found no public information on whole-file export with structure.
- We found no public information on the AI model providers, where AI processing runs, content credentials on generated output, or any IP indemnity.
Best for
- You hand designs to engineers outside paid seats — collaboration and handoff scores cluster at 6-7 on free viewer inspection, Dev Mode and an MCP server.
- You maintain a design system and want AI generation that binds to your real tokens, variables and styles — design and prototyping scores cluster at 6-7.
- You need AI terms in writing before adopting — customer ownership of input and output, an administrative training toggle and published credit allotments carried AI and content rights to 5-6.
Avoid if
- Your procurement must confirm EU data residency and a named subprocessor chain before signature — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
- You need governed brand assets — locked templates for non-designers, guidelines in the tool, rights and expiry metadata — where brand asset governance scores run 3-4.
- You must compute an annual cost from published prices — the captured pricing pages carry no per-seat figures and Organization and Enterprise cancellation runs through sales.
- You need to leave with whole files in a documented format — file ownership and portability scores run 3-4, with export documented per asset.

Design, prototyping & design systems
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
The making itself: vector and layout tools, interactive prototypes, and the shared components, styles and tokens that keep a company's products and materials consistent — judged on what the feature and help pages document, not on showcase images.
0 — A single-purpose editor with no reusable components, no shared styles and no prototyping.
3 — Templates and basic shapes or layouts, with styles saved per file only and prototyping limited to linking screens.
5 — Reusable components and shared styles across files, responsive or auto layout, clickable prototypes with transitions, and team libraries that update where they are used.
8 — A design system managed in the tool: variables or tokens for colour, type and spacing with modes or themes, component variants and properties, prototypes with conditional logic, and library change notes with versions.
10 — The design system is a governed product: library releases versioned and reviewable, token export in a documented format for development, usage analytics per component, and accessibility checks such as contrast built into the editor.
The Product Designer
Shared styles for colour, text, grids and effects plus team-wide libraries published across teams, and an agent that builds full component sets in different sizes, states and themes on the customer's real tokens and variables — that is design-system work, not just screens. But the token and variant story is documented on AI solution pages rather than feature help pages, and we found no public information on variable modes, prototypes with conditional logic, or library change notes and versioning. 2 6 7 9 11 2
The Frontend Engineer
Team-wide and cross-team libraries, shared styles for colour, text, grids and effects, and tokens and variables that generated components bind to are all documented, with design system theming and APIs gated to Enterprise. I found no public information on library change notes with versions, prototype conditional logic, or token export in a documented format for development, which is what I need to wire a design system into code. 7 9 2 2 6
The Brand Marketer
Team-wide design libraries with shared styles for colour, text, grids and effects are documented, and the component-generation pages describe full component sets in multiple sizes, states and themes built on your own tokens and variables, with design system theming and APIs at the top plan. I found no public information on prototypes with conditional logic or versioned library release notes, so the system is powerful but its governance is not evidenced. 2 7 9
The Agency Owner
Team-wide design libraries, tokens and variables, and component sets are documented — generated components land as fully editable layers and reuse the customer's real tokens and styles — which clears the shared-styles baseline comfortably. We found no public information in the captures on prototypes with conditional logic or on library change notes with versions, so the top of the scale stays out of reach. 2 6 7 9
The Data Protection Officer
Shared styles for colour, type, grids and effects, team-wide design libraries and an interactive prototype template are documented, and the AI pages describe generated component sets in multiple sizes, states and themes built on the customer's own tokens, variables and styles. Theming and design-system APIs appear at the enterprise tier; we found no public information on conditional logic in prototypes or on library change notes with versions, so design-system management is only partly evidenced. 2 6 7 9 2
The Skeptic
Shared styles for colour, text, grids and effects are documented, Professional lists team-wide design libraries, Enterprise lists design system theming and APIs, and the AI pages show generated components consuming real tokens and variables. We found no public information on component variants and properties as a documented feature, prototypes with conditional logic, or library version notes — and much of the design-system story is told on AI marketing pages rather than help documentation. 2 7 9 11 2
Collaboration, review & developer handoff
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Working on the same files with colleagues, clients and developers: comments and review, permissions for internal and external people, and the handoff that gives engineering measurements, assets and code rather than screenshots.
0 — Files shared as exports or links with no comments, no permissions beyond view or edit, and no developer view.
3 — Real-time co-editing and comments, but external reviewers need a paid seat or full access, and developers get only exported images.
5 — Comments with mentions and resolution, view-only and comment-only access for guests without a paid seat, permissions per file and project, and an inspect mode with measurements, styles and asset export.
8 — Branching or review of changes before they reach the main file, version history with restore, a developer mode that links components to code, an API and plugins documented, and named integrations with issue trackers and code tools.
10 — Handoff is a contract between design and code: component properties mapped to code components, token and asset export automated through the API, an audit log of access and sharing, and external access governed by domain, expiry and admin policy.
The Product Designer
Free viewers get genuine inspection — measurements, copyable CSS, iOS and Android code, asset export, comments — and Dev Mode adds a Table/Code panel, codegen snippets and an MCP server on Professional, which is a real bridge to engineering. We found no public information on branching or review before changes reach the main file, version history with restore, a documented API, or an access audit log; the integrations surface is a bare directory listing with no named tools. 1 2 8 9 2
The Frontend Engineer
Inspect with measurements, property values and CSS, iOS and Android code copy is available to free viewers with no billing account — the handoff baseline I always look for — and Dev Mode with code snippets, Table and Code panel formatting and an MCP Server is documented. I found no public information on branching or version history with restore, and nothing on an API that reads the full file structure, so handoff stops short of a design-to-code contract. 2 2 9 8 1
The Brand Marketer
Free viewers can comment, take measurements, copy CSS, iOS and Android code and export assets without a billing account, and Dev Mode with codegen snippets and an MCP server hands engineering something richer than screenshots. I found no public information on branching, version history with restore, or audit logs and governed external access, so review-before-publish stays unevidenced. 2 8 9
The Agency Owner
Free viewers get measurements, copyable CSS, iOS and Android code, asset export and comments without a paid seat or billing account, and Dev Mode is a genuine inspect-and-codegen story with an integrations directory — exactly how I hand work to a client's engineers. We found no public information on branching, version history with restore, or an audit log of access and sharing, which keeps this below the top band. 1 2 8 9
The Data Protection Officer
Free viewers get real inspection — measurements, copied CSS, iOS and Android code and asset export — and Dev Mode is documented with a code panel, codegen snippets and an MCP server, while paid plans let guests view and comment without buying a seat. We found no public information on branching, version history with restore, an access audit log, or any integration named in the captured pages, so handoff is strong but not yet a governed contract between design and code. 2 8 9 2
The Skeptic
Free viewers get real inspection — measurements, copyable CSS, iOS and Android code, asset export and comments — without buying a seat, and Dev Mode, codegen snippets, an MCP server on Professional, SCIM on Enterprise and an integrations directory round out the handoff. We found no public information on branching or review-before-merge, version history with restore, comment mentions and resolution, or an access audit log; the codegen claim appears in a customer testimonial. 1 2 8 9 2
Brand assets & governance
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Keeping a brand usable and correct across a company: a central library for logos, images and templates, brand guidelines people can find, locked templates that let non-designers produce material, and rights and expiry metadata on every licensed asset.
0 — No shared asset library; logos and images are uploaded per file by whoever needs them.
3 — A shared folder of assets and some templates, but no guidelines, no locking of brand elements and no metadata beyond file names.
5 — A central brand library with logos, colours and fonts, templates with locked elements for non-designers, brand guidelines published in the tool, and tagging and search across assets.
8 — Rights, usage and expiry metadata on assets with warnings or automatic withdrawal on expiry, approval workflows for new assets and template output, version control on assets, and access per team, market or partner.
10 — Brand governance is auditable: every asset carries its licence, owner and permitted use, usage of each asset is tracked across files and channels, distribution to external partners is logged, and the whole library with metadata is exportable in a documented format.
The Product Designer
There is a logo-to-brand-kit generator producing palettes, typography pairings and brand assets with reusable skills and shareable prompt threads, alongside a large community template catalogue and shared libraries and fonts on the Organization plan. But we found no public information on a governed central brand library: locked templates for non-designers, brand guidelines published in the tool, or rights, usage and expiry metadata on any asset. 2 6 11 2
The Frontend Engineer
The captured pages show AI generation of colour palettes, typography pairings and brand assets from an uploaded logo, plus shared team libraries, but that is making, not governance. I found no public information on locked templates for non-designers, guidelines published in the tool, tagging and search across assets, or any rights, expiry and approval metadata. 11 2 6
The Brand Marketer
Shared libraries and fonts are documented at the organization plan and the logo-to-brand-kit generator produces editable colour palettes, typography pairings and brand assets — but that is generation, not governance. I found no public information on templates with locked elements for non-designers, brand guidelines published in the tool, or rights and expiry metadata on licensed assets, which is exactly what twelve regional offices need before anyone makes their own flyer. 2 6 11
The Agency Owner
Shared libraries and fonts published across teams, plus an agent that turns a logo into palettes, typography pairings and brand assets, give a brand practice a real starting point. We found no public information on locked templates for non-designers, guidelines published in the tool, tagging and search across assets, or rights and expiry metadata, so the governance layer itself is unevidenced. 2 6 11
The Data Protection Officer
Team libraries that publish resources across teams and a logo-to-brand-kit generator working from the customer's real components, tokens and variables give a shared foundation for brand work. We found no public information on locked templates for non-designers, brand guidelines published in the tool, or rights, usage and expiry metadata on licensed assets, so governance beyond the shared library is not evidenced. 2 11 2
The Skeptic
What the pages document is generation, not governance: an agent that produces colour palettes, typography pairings and brand assets from an uploaded logo, plus a large template catalogue. We found no public information on a central brand library with locked templates for non-designers, guidelines published in the tool, or rights, usage and expiry metadata on assets — the governance layer is simply absent from the captures. 6 11
Files, formats & portability
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether the work can leave: open or documented file formats, export that keeps layers, vectors and components, offline or self-hosted options, and what happens to files after a downgrade, a removed seat or a cancelled contract.
0 — Files exist only in the vendor's cloud in a proprietary format, export is a flat image, and nothing is said about files after cancellation.
3 — Export to PNG, PDF and SVG per frame, but no export of whole files with structure, and files after a downgrade or cancellation addressed only in general terms.
5 — Whole files exportable to a local or documented format, vector and layered export (SVG, PDF) with text kept as text, bulk export of a team's files, and a stated period during which files remain accessible after cancellation.
8 — An open or publicly documented file format, export and import with other tools documented, an API that reads full file structure, files of removed users transferred to the organisation by policy, and a stated deletion timeline after the contract ends.
10 — Portability is built in: an open-source or openly specified format, self-hosting or a local-first option, round-trip export without loss of components and prototypes, and the customer's ownership of all files and their export rights written into the terms.
The Product Designer
The terms are explicit that the customer retains all right, title and interest in their content, and per-item export covers SVG, PNG and CSS with an export panel for marked assets. We found no public information on whole-file export with structure, a documented or open file format, an API that reads file structure, self-hosting, or what happens to files after a downgrade or cancellation — the only retention wording covers personal information generally, and a service discontinuation promises migration or a pro-rata refund rather than file return. 5 9
The Frontend Engineer
Export runs per frame or per asset marked exportable in SVG and PNG with copy-as CSS, SVG and PNG, and customer ownership of all content is written into the terms. I found no public information on whole-file export in a documented format, bulk export of a team's files, an API that reads full file structure, or what happens to files after a downgrade or cancelled contract. 9 5 2 3
The Brand Marketer
The terms state the customer retains all right, title and interest in customer content, and export is documented per selection as CSS, SVG or PNG with an export panel for marked assets. I found no public information on whole-file export with structure, an open or documented file format, or a stated timeline for files after cancellation beyond general retention language. 3 5 9
The Agency Owner
The terms state plainly that the customer retains all right, title and interest in Customer Content — the clause I look for before promising a client their files are theirs. The captured export options are per-asset PNG, SVG and CSS, and we found no public information on whole-file export with structure, bulk export, or on what happens to files after a cancellation beyond where to click to downgrade. 2 5 9
The Data Protection Officer
The terms state that the customer retains all right, title and interest in Customer Content, and export covers SVG and PNG per selection plus an export panel for marked assets. We found no public information on whole-file export with structure, bulk export of a team's files, or a stated period during which files remain accessible after cancellation, so the work leaving the platform is only partially evidenced. 3 5 9
The Skeptic
The terms state the customer retains all right, title and interest in Customer Content, and asset-level export is documented — copy as CSS, SVG or PNG and an export panel for marked assets. We found no public information on whole-file export with structure, a documented or open file format, an API that reads full files, or what happens to files after a downgrade, a removed seat or a cancelled contract. 5 9
AI features & rights to the work
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What the vendor's AI does with the customer's files and what the customer may do with the AI's output: training on customer content and the opt-out, the models and where they run, commercial use of generated images, stock licences and indemnity.
0 — Generative features with no statement on training on customer files, no named models, and no word on whether output may be used commercially.
3 — An AI page that promises responsibility but leaves open whether customer files train models, and output rights are stated only for some features or only in community terms.
5 — Training on customer content excluded or opt-out documented, AI features switchable by an admin for the organisation, model providers named, and commercial use of generated output permitted in the terms.
8 — Training excluded by default for business plans, the processing location of AI features stated, generated content labelled or carrying content credentials, stock and template licences stated per asset type, and an IP indemnity for generated output on a named plan.
10 — AI is governed in writing: a per-feature list of models, providers and locations, admin controls per team and feature, a log of AI use, training exclusion and output ownership in the contract terms, and indemnity and licence limits published in full.
The Product Designer
Customer content trains models only when the administrative Content Training toggle is on, and the AI terms state plainly that input and output are customer content the customer retains all rights to, with credit allotments explicit per plan. We found no public information on named model providers, where AI processing runs, labelling or content credentials on generated output, stock or template licences per asset type, or any IP indemnity — so governance is written for training and ownership but silent on the rest of the chain. 2 3 12 13
The Frontend Engineer
The AI terms state that input and output remain customer content with all rights retained by the customer, training on customer content is gated behind an admin-level content training toggle, and monthly credit allotments are published per plan with the beta agent consuming none. I found no public information on which models or providers power the features, where AI processing runs, labelling or content credentials on generated output, or any IP indemnity. 12 3 2 13 5
The Brand Marketer
The AI terms answer my trade-fair-stand question directly: input and output are customer content with the customer retaining all right, title and interest, and training on customer content happens only with the content-training toggle on, with the off-switch stopping future use. I found no public information on named model providers, where AI processing runs, content labelling or indemnity, and the default state of that training toggle is not stated on the captured pages. 3 12
The Agency Owner
The AI terms are unusually concrete: training on Customer Content happens only with the Content Training toggle on in admin settings, Input and Output are Customer Content the customer retains rights to, and monthly credit allotments are stated per plan. We found no public information on named model providers, AI processing locations, content credentials or indemnity, so this stops short of the fully governed band. 2 3 12
The Data Protection Officer
The AI terms put training behind a Content Training toggle in administrative settings — switching it off stops future use of content — and state in writing that input and output remain Customer Content owned by the customer, which is the clause I look for. We found no public information on the model providers behind the features, where AI processing runs, labelling or content credentials on generated output, or any IP indemnity; monthly credit allotments per plan are published. 2 3 12
The Skeptic
The AI terms are unusually concrete: Customer Content is used for training only when the administrative Content Training toggle is on, input and output are Customer Content the customer owns, and exact monthly credit figures are published per plan and seat. We found no public information on the named models or providers, where AI processing runs, content credentials or labelling of generated output, stock or template licences, or any IP indemnity for generated work — so the ownership story is solid but the risk story is untested in the captures. 2 3 12
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the contracting entity is, where design files, brand assets and AI prompts are stored and processed, and which subprocessors touch them. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline.
0 — Non-EU contracting entity, no statement on where files are hosted, and subprocessors unnamed.
3 — EU data residency available only on an enterprise plan or not at all, or the subprocessor list is absent, or AI features send files outside the EU without an explained safeguard.
5 — EU hosting stated for files, a DPA available, but the contracting entity or significant parts of the chain (AI, rendering, support) are non-EU without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU contracting entity, files, assets and backups stored in the EU on named infrastructure, subprocessor list published with locations and purposes, and AI processing location stated.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, EU entity, every hosting, AI and support subprocessor European or optional, self-hosting or a European cloud offered, and certifications published.
The Product Designer
The captured pages leave the contracting entity's jurisdiction, ownership and data residency unconfirmed, and although the privacy policy points to a sub-processors page, its contents were not captured, so no subprocessor names, locations or purposes are evidenced. With a San Francisco parent and no confirmed EU hosting or AI processing location anywhere in the evidence, this sits at the bottom of the scale. 3 4
The Frontend Engineer
The legal notice names Figma, Inc. of San Francisco with a German imprint entity in Berlin, and the privacy policy points to a sub-processor page without capturing any provider locations or purposes. I found no public information on where design files, brand assets or AI prompts are hosted or processed, or on any EU residency option. 4 3
The Brand Marketer
The vendor is a US company and a German imprint entity is named in the legal notice, but the contracting party is not confirmed, and we found no public information on where design files, brand assets and AI prompts are stored and processed. The privacy policy points to a sub-processor page, yet we found no public information on the sub-processors themselves or their locations. 3 4
The Agency Owner
The contracting picture is American — Figma, Inc. of San Francisco, with a Berlin GmbH named in the German imprint — and the captured pages confirm neither where files are hosted nor any subprocessor names or locations; the privacy policy only points to a sub-processor page. I found no public information on EU data residency or on where AI features are processed in these captures. 3 4
The Data Protection Officer
The contracting entity is Figma, Inc. of San Francisco with a German GmbH named only in the imprint, and we found no statement on the captured pages confirming where design files, brand assets or AI prompts are hosted or processed. The privacy policy points to a published sub-processor page, but the captured material gives no names, locations or purposes for those processors, and Google Analytics and a Shopify-operated store sit in the chain — for a European buyer the chain is not evidenced. 3 4 5
The Skeptic
The vendor is US-domiciled with a Berlin imprint entity named for Germany, the privacy policy points to a sub-processors page whose contents, locations and purposes do not appear in the captures, and analytics run through Google Analytics. We found no public information on EU data residency for design files or AI prompts, nor on where AI features process customer content. 3 4
Pricing transparency
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the annual cost for their team from public pages alone — which seat types exist and what each may do, how viewers and guests are billed, how seats are added and trued up, AI credits, and the plan where SSO, admin controls and brand features begin.
0 — No public prices at all; every plan is a sales conversation.
3 — A per-seat price for an entry plan, but the seat types, the billing of guests and reviewers, and the plan needed for business features are unclear.
5 — Plans priced per seat type with their main features, but at least one commonly incurred cost (seat upgrades on request, AI credits, storage, brand or SSO add-ons) is missing or "on request".
8 — Every plan and seat type priced, free viewers and guests stated with their limits, how and when added seats are billed explained, AI credits and storage priced or included explicitly, and the plan that unlocks SSO and admin controls named.
10 — Complete cost computability: annual cost derivable for a given mix of editors, viewers and guests, true-up and auto-upgrade rules published, every add-on priced publicly, and contract term, renewal and downgrade conditions stated.
The Product Designer
Seat types are laid out with what each may do — Full, Dev and Collab, viewers added free with their inspection limits stated, and monthly AI credit allotments explicit per plan and seat. But we found no public price figures in the captured pages, Enterprise begins with a contact-sales conversation, and storage, seat true-up rules and add-on costs are not stated, so an annual cost is not computable. 1 2 6 9 2
The Frontend Engineer
Seat types are documented in real detail — full, dev, collab and view access itemised per product, free viewers needing no billing account, AI credits quantified per plan, and cancellation self-serve on Professional but sales-led above it. The captured pricing pages carry no per-seat figures at all, so an annual cost cannot be derived from them and Enterprise sits behind a contact-sales conversation. 2 2 9 1
The Brand Marketer
The pricing pages document the seat types with what each may do, monthly AI-credit allotments per plan, and free viewers and commenters without extra seats, which is genuinely useful for planning. But no price figure for any plan appears in the captured pages and organization and enterprise changes route through sales, so an annual cost for my team cannot be computed from public information. 2 9
The Agency Owner
The pricing pages do the seat maths a buyer needs: Full, Dev, Collab and View seats are each described with what they may do, viewers are free without a billing account, and AI credit allotments are stated as numbers per plan. But the captures contain no price figure for any plan and Enterprise runs through sales, so an annual cost for a given mix of seats is not computable from what was captured. 2 9 2
The Data Protection Officer
Seat types are documented clearly — Full, Collab, Dev and View, with free viewers who can inspect and comment — and monthly AI credit allotments are published per plan. We found no public price figures for any plan in the captured material, and Organization and Enterprise plan changes run through the sales team, so an annual cost is not computable from what is published here. 1 2 9 2
The Skeptic
Seat types are described precisely — what Full, Dev, Collab and View seats may each do, free viewing and commenting without extra seats, exact monthly AI credit allotments, and self-serve cancellation on Professional versus a sales conversation for Organization and Enterprise. But the captured pricing pages give plan names and seat definitions with no prices, so an annual cost cannot be computed from them; we found no public information on per-seat prices, true-up rules, storage, or the plan where SSO begins. 2 2

Questions about Figma
Is Figma European?
No. whats-best.ai classifies Figma as Rest of world.
Where does Figma store data?
Not stated on the vendor’s pages as of 13 Oct 2026.
Does Figma have a free plan?
Yes. Figma has a free plan, per the vendor’s page captured 13 Oct 2026.
What are the best alternatives to Figma?
As of 16 Oct 2026, the panel rates Penpot (2.5/5), Sketch (2.5/5) and Frontify (2.5/5) highest among the other 13 Design products evaluated. Ratings that look equal are rounded to half stars; the order uses the unrounded rating, then the name. The highest-rated European alternative is Penpot (EU-Made). Ratings are the AI panel’s opinion, formed from public evidence: how scores are made. The full list, with European products first: Figma alternatives.
Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 1 Oct 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Data residency, Subprocessors. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
What we left out
A claim that does not survive our checks costs us the claim, not the page. This is what was taken off this one.
