Most guided-filing tools summarize a rule and hope it's still accurate. Torii does the opposite: every eligibility check and checklist item is written as a direct reflection of a specific, official government page — and that page is linked right next to the rule.
In practice this means two things. First, if a requirement can't be traced to something an immigration authority actually published, Torii doesn't show it to you — no “common wisdom,” no forum advice dressed up as a rule. Second, when guidance changes, the link is how we know it changed, because someone on the team is watching that exact page, not a summary of it three steps removed.
This is also why Torii is deliberately built jurisdiction by jurisdiction instead of all at once. Sourcing a rule properly takes real work — finding the authoritative page, confirming it's current, writing the check so it matches what's actually published. Doing that shallowly across fifty jurisdictions would mean doing it badly everywhere. We'd rather have two jurisdictions that are genuinely trustworthy than twenty that are approximately right.
None of this makes Torii a substitute for legal advice — sourced rules still can't cover every unusual fact pattern, which is exactly why escalation to a licensed professional exists for the cases that fall outside them. But for the parts of a filing that are genuinely rule-based, sourcing means you're never taking our word for it.
