## Why this rule exists

Every declared method is a promise a reviewer will check, and each one needs its own evidence. Ticking every box to look thorough multiplies the ways the campaign can fail, because a declared method with no matching evidence is a mismatch rather than a bonus.

## How to fix it

Declare only the methods actually in use today. Remove aspirational ones — you can add them later when the evidence exists.

## Example of a compliant value

```text
Declared: web form only. Not: web form + keyword + QR + verbal, with one screenshot for all four.
