Honest by design
What “aligned” means here
When a plan says it is aligned to a standard, that is a plain crosswalk: the plan practices the skill the public standard describes, and we cite the standard’s code so you can check it. We never claim a standards body certified, approved, or endorsed a plan — alignment is our own honest judgment of what it covers.
