How we work

Cited sources. Disclosed methods. Honest limits.

Every analysis cites its decisions, names its dataset, admits its limits. Useful beats impressive.

01 · Real decisions

From the Board, not the brochure

Patterns from actual BVA opinions. Citations linked. Sample sizes shown. No anecdotes posing as trends.

02 · Disclosed methods

The query is part of the post

How we sampled, what we filtered for, the date range — in the article, not a footnote.

03 · Practical conclusions

Practical observations

Every piece turns the data into clear patterns, caveats, and next questions a veteran or VSO can evaluate.
