Editorial policy compliance

This post was drafted under Trellison content is untethered to any single source.

Trellison's authority comes from independence. We synthesize across the full evidence base — ECLS-B, ECLS-K, WWC, OELA, IMLS/Mathematica, peer-reviewed literature — and never let any single grant evaluation, institution, journal, or article carry the message in its own voice. Song lyrics, video narration, and on-screen text in Trellison content do not name-check a single source. End-card citations and metadata link the work to its evidence trail; the body stays about the universally observable truth: caregivers + reading + libraries + early years + the five ECRR practices.

Roast-proof guarantee. Every factual statement in the post above is paraphrased from at least one federally-paid public-domain source listed in the "Evidence" section. We paraphrase because our editorial policy forbids body-level name-checks — attribution lives here, on the receipts page. If you find a claim you believe is unsupported, reply with the specific sentence and we will either cite it to a source in this page or retract it publicly.
