OUR METHODOLOGY

Useful confidence starts with visible uncertainty.

Vafaro separates family-profile observations, planning estimates, directly verified facts, and unknowns. We explain why a detail matters and what should be checked before anyone books.

What the early scan evaluates

The free scan uses the family profile and itinerary wording to flag walking and standing load, stairs, transfer complexity, arrival-day recovery, daily pacing, heat, crowds, and children’s break needs. It does not browse live sources or verify provider claims.

How confidence labels work

  • Based on your profile: A planning observation derived from the preferences you entered.
  • AI estimate: A calculated or inferred detail that should be checked.
  • Official source needed: A material fact that requires current first-party confirmation.
  • Verified directly: Reserved for a human review in which the specific provider or venue was contacted.
  • Unknown: Not enough reliable information to make a claim.

What a founding-family reviewer does

A reviewer investigates the few high-impact unknowns most likely to change the trip. Depending on the agreed scope, that may include checking hotel entrances, station layouts, attraction access, realistic walking routes, or the structure of demanding days. Human review is a scoped research service, not a blanket certification.

What Vafaro is not

Vafaro provides general travel-planning information. It is not medical advice, legal advice, a safety determination, an accessibility certification, or a guarantee that a traveler can complete an itinerary. Conditions and individual needs change. Confirm material details with qualified professionals and the relevant travel providers before booking.
