ven.plus

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Short answers, operational framing. No hype. No promises.

Basics

What is ven.plus?

ven.plus is context infrastructure: a living directory that documents what exists, what works, what doesn’t, and what is uncertain in Venezuela (starting in Caracas).

Is this a media outlet or news site?

No. It does not publish news, opinions, or narratives. It documents operational reality with dates and constraints.

Is ven.plus a marketplace or consultancy?

No. There is no advertising, ranking, or paid placement. It does not offer traditional consulting services.

Who is this for?

Decision-makers: individuals and organizations that need reliable context before entering, re-entering, or operating.

Is the information always accurate?

No. Information can be incomplete or outdated. That uncertainty is shown explicitly, with dates and confidence signals.

Why Caracas first?

Because the system needs density and verification. Expansion follows signal—not promises.

Method & confidence

How is information verified?

Through layered signals: observation, corroboration, consistency over time, and visible conflicts. Not all entries reach the same confidence level.

What does “confidence” mean here?

Confidence is not truth or consensus. It’s a current estimate of support, based on available inputs and their limits.

Why do entries show friction and constraints?

Because friction is a signal. Hours, payment methods, access, and delays matter more than summaries.

Can entries be wrong?

Yes. That’s expected. The system improves through correction, not authority.

Is AI deciding what’s true?

No. AI helps organize and cross-reference information. It does not validate or invent.

Corrections & participation

Can I contribute anonymously?

Yes. Contact details are optional and used only for clarification if needed.

What makes a contribution useful?

A concrete observation, where it happened, when it was true, and what mattered in practice.

What is not accepted?

Predictions, opinions without observation, political advocacy, or information without time context.

Project status

Is ven.plus finished?

No. It is active, incomplete, and continuously updated.

How often is it updated?

There is no fixed cadence. Updates happen when new signals or corrections appear.
