Editorial Standards
Taupia writes about people's money, so the bar is simple: nothing on this site should say more than we can show. This page explains the rules our guides and posts are written to — and what to do if you spot something that falls short.

Figures carry named, dated sources
Every figure on this site traces to a named source — Ofgem, Ofcom, supplier price sheets, or our own published methodology — and we distinguish confirmed figures from forecasts. A forecast is always labelled as a forecast, dated, and attributed to whoever published it.
We keep superseded forecasts visible rather than quietly deleting them. The price cap chart holds every forecast revision we have recorded, marked as superseded, so you can open the revisions view and see how the expected figure moved — and how far it sat from what Ofgem eventually confirmed. Removing them would make our own record look tidier than it was.
Savings depend on your usage and your current deal, so we say "usually" and "typically" — we do not promise guaranteed savings, and our headline savings figures link to a published methodology explaining how they're calculated. Where a benchmark is our own estimate across several providers rather than a single published figure, the methodology page says so rather than implying a source we do not have.
Corrections are made sitewide, not quietly
When guidance changes or we get something wrong, we correct every page it touches and update the page's modified date. In August 2026, for example, we replaced outdated "17 working days" guidance with Ofgem's current faster-switching standard — an energy switch now takes up to 5 working days — across every page that mentioned it. That standard is Ofgem's and applies to energy only: broadband switching runs on Ofcom's One Touch Switch rules and mobile on the PAC process, each with its own timings.
If you spot an error, tell us and we will check it against the source.
How Taupia makes money
Taupia is free to use. We earn a commission from some suppliers when you switch through the app — not from selling user data or showing advertising. Comparisons are built to show expected savings and suitability first, not to favour higher-commission results.
Our guides exist to answer the question, not to steer you to a switch: where staying put is the better outcome on your numbers, that is what the site says.
Written for people, readable by machines
AI assistants increasingly quote our pages. We maintain a machine-readable facts file (llms.txt) with the current confirmed figures so that assistants citing Taupia repeat the right numbers, and we mark every indexed page with structured data describing exactly what the page contains.
