How we write and check facts

How the guides on permito.app are written, sourced, checked, dated and corrected.

Who writes the guides

The guides are written by the Permito team at FireX Co., Ltd., the company that makes the Permito app. We use AI tools to research and draft. We say so here because you should know how the text was made. A draft is never published as it comes out of a tool: every fact in it is first checked against its source, as described below. We do not put a person’s name, photo or credentials on a guide unless that person really wrote or reviewed it.

Where facts come from

Rules and numbers come only from primary sources:

• state driver license agencies (DMV, DPS, BMV, MVA and similar), including their driver handbooks, web pages and notices;
• state statutes and administrative rules, read on the legislature’s or the state’s own site;
• federal sources such as the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for road signs;
• other government offices that run licensing on the state’s behalf, such as Florida’s county tax collectors.

Other practice sites, forums and news stories are never the source of a rule. News can tell us that something changed; the guide then cites the agency or the law itself. When a source does not say something, or two government sources disagree, the guide says so instead of filling the gap.

How we check facts

Before a guide is published, its claims are listed one by one with the source each one rests on. A separate review step that did not write the draft then opens every source and marks each claim as supported, not supported or not checkable. Today that reviewer is an AI agent started with a fresh context and told to look for errors, not to agree. Anything not supported is corrected or removed and checked again. A guide with an open problem is not published, even if that means no guide goes out that day. The check record for each guide is kept with our research files.

Spanish versions are written from the checked English text and checked again for meaning, numbers and dates.

Dates and re-review

Each guide shows two dates. “Updated” is the day the text last changed in a way that matters: a fact, a table, a link. “Sources checked” is the day every source was last opened and compared with the guide. The Updated date on the page, in the page data and in our sitemap is the same date, and it moves only when the text really changes. We do not change dates to make a page look new.

When an agency changes a rule, a handbook or a fee, the guides that depend on it are checked first. Otherwise, guides with numbers are re-checked at least every 6 months and study guides at least every 12 months. A guide’s address never changes.

About the app mentions

Permito makes a study app, and each guide mentions it in at most two places: a one-line note after the first section, next to a link to our free practice questions, and one box at the end. Nothing about the app comes before the answer. The guides are free to read and do not depend on buying anything.

Report an error

If something in a guide is wrong or out of date, email support@permito.app with the page and what you found. We check it against the source, correct the guide if needed, and note the change in the guide’s update history.

Not affiliated with any DMV

Permito is a private study app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any DMV, state agency or government. Our practice questions are our own and are not taken from any state test. The state agency always has the last word on its own rules.
