Editorial Standards

En Primeur Club aggregates 97 sourcing organizations — from Michelin and World's 50 Best to Forbes Travel Guide, La Liste, James Beard, and dozens of regional publications — into a single editorial layer. Every venue claim, every ranking, every award badge on this site traces back to a verifiable source document.

EP points formula

Each award is weighted by source authority, recency, and category specificity. Newer Michelin stars count more than decade-old TripAdvisor placements; a #1 World's 50 Best ranking outweighs a generic "Top 100" mention. We publish the formula so partners can audit it.

Provenance chain

Every award rendered on a venue page links back to the source document via the chainawards → source_assertions → source_records → source_documents. When the chain is populated for a given award, you'll see a "View source ↗" link on the award badge. Awards without verified provenance render the badge but suppress the link.

Corrections

If you've spotted an error, email editorial@enprimeurclub.com with the venue URL and the specific claim. We respond to every correction.

AI usage

EP Club uses LLM-assisted research and copywriting at scale. Every editorial paragraph runs through a brand-voice + accuracy review. Award data, venue facts, and provenance links are sourced from primary documents — never from LLM training data. We do not auto-publish unverified claims.
