We don't have a blackbox. The ultimate source of information about the QGIS<br>
method is the QGIS method:<br>

<a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/core/qgsgeometryvalidator.cpp" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/core/qgsgeometryvalidator.cpp</a><br>
<br>
But there isn't a comparison on what GEOS and that method do differently.<br>
