How We Verify Emiratisation Rules and Data
Every regulatory figure on this hub comes from a single facts register, with its value, effective date, the date we verified it and its primary source. A fact is verified, under verification or blocked. We never ship a calculator that depends on a blocked fact, and we label every open question on the page.
The test every page must pass
If a journalist, a CHRO, Google or an AI assistant cited this page tomorrow, would we stand behind every sentence?
Our source hierarchy
- Official sources: u.ae, MoHRE, Nafis and the Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council, GPSSA, the Central Bank, and the text of Cabinet and Ministerial decisions.
- Official employer sources: careers pages and programme documents, for programmes and eligibility.
- Official statements reported in detail: WAM, Gulf News, Khaleej Times and Zawya, cited as the vehicle for the official quoted, with the date.
- Professional analysis: law firms and advisers, used to locate an issue, never as the authority for a figure.
- Social posts and unsourced blogs: leads only. Never published as fact.
Three states for every fact
| State | Meaning | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Verified | Primary source, effective date and interpretation checked | Published; used in calculators |
| Under verification | No official answer yet | Explained on the page and marked; no definitive answer given |
| Blocked | Could change a compliance or money result and is disputed | The dependent tool does not launch |
The verified facts are published as open data.
Dates
Each page shows when a person last checked it. We do not refresh dates to look current. Policy facts are reviewed monthly and within 48 hours of any MoHRE or Nafis announcement; the programme directory is checked weekly.
Independence and disclosure
StrongYes is an independent publication, not affiliated with any UAE government body. Programme listings are free. Any sponsored feature, tool or partnership is labelled, and none influences rules, figures or editorial judgement. Employers named on the hub may ask for a correction or a right of reply.
Corrections
We fix verified errors within two business days and log them in the change log. Write to partner@strongyes.co.
