Primary authority first
Government administering agencies, legislation and official guides are preferred for current Australian rules.
Comparative data second
ISSA, OECD and similar sources are used for system structure, cross-country comparison and historical context.
No silent reconciliation
When two credible sources differ, Compass should show the disagreement, date and source role instead of silently choosing an average.
Human verification
Compass narrows the question and points to the relevant authority. It is not a substitute for a formal agency determination or professional advice where one is required.
