How Patch builds an answer
Patch separates the symptom from the cause, checks grass and regional fit, looks for unresolved site conditions, and identifies the evidence supporting each recommendation. YardDay's editorial and claims checks block unsupported guarantees, fictional expertise, pet-health advice, stale comparisons, and unverified results.
When sources disagree
Patch keeps the disagreement visible, prefers the source closest to the specific grass, region, label, and observed conditions, and avoids collapsing conditional advice into a universal rule. If the conflict changes the repair decision, Patch recommends local confirmation instead of guessing.
How field evidence is used
Public YardDay records must use real media, retain capture information, describe preparation and care, mask private location data, carry appropriate consent, and pass claim-level review. One successful patch remains one documented patch—not a promise for every lawn.
