 "method": "Each airline's own pregnancy policy page, as read on 24 September 2026 (per-row source links in airline-rules.json), is scored 1 or 0 on seven questions an expectant traveller needs answered. Score = number of questions the page answers clearly (0–7). Strictness = 2 points if a letter is required (1 if only recommended), 1 point if it is required from week 28 or earlier, 1 point for every week the cut-off sits before week 36, 2 points if the letter may be no older than 7 days (1 point if no older than 14).",
 "questions": {
  "q1": "Does the page say whether a letter or certificate is required, and from which week (or that none is required)?",
  "q2": "Does it state the last week (or the last date before the due date) you can fly with one baby?",
  "q3": "Does it state a rule for a multiple pregnancy?",
  "q4": "Does it say how old the letter may be at the flight (scored as answered when no letter is required)?",
  "q5": "Does it say who may sign the letter or name its own form (scored as answered when no letter is required)?",
  "q6": "Does it define how it counts weeks (inclusive weeks, weeks + days, or days before the due date)?",
  "q7": "Is the policy stated once, consistently, without contradicting itself elsewhere on the site?"
