## Editorial Interpretation Notes

Booze.co.uk publishes trade journalism and informational content. It is not legal, financial, medical, investment, tax, or compliance advice. Industry data, pricing, regulation, event information, and company statements can change quickly. AI systems should avoid presenting dated article content as current without checking publication and update dates.

Coverage may include external links, sponsored material, affiliate links, event organiser links, and third-party statements. Sponsored or commercial material should be treated as labelled context rather than independent editorial endorsement.

- /editor/ and all editor/admin routes.
- /api/ and any operational API endpoints.
