The method
How a stamp is earned
Sourced
Every listing links to where its details came from. No source, no stamp.
Dated
A check carries the day it was made. Anything unconfirmed says so, in amber, on the listing itself.
Reported
Been there lately? One tap tells us it's open, closed or changed — and that's where the next check starts.
