Why it matters
- Search and AI answers often repeat brand-level “regulated” claims without entity identifiers.
- Editorial and commercial incentives reward over-simple headlines; public-record research should not.
A practical reading order
1) Venue dossier — what domains are published.
2) Legal Entity pages — who is named.
3) Regulatory Record pages — exact instrument and register ID.
4) Primary source links — verify outside VenueVeritas.

Limitations
- This is a methodology guide, not a determination about any single venue’s legality in your jurisdiction.
