Source and evidence policy

Last reviewed: 5 August 2026

Each material catalogue fact retains its source, verification date, confidence state, and review history. Manufacturer and regulator sources are preferred; authoritative secondary and owner evidence remain visibly distinct.

Claimed values, AutoFlux estimates, and owner-reported observations are never presented as the same kind of fact. Conflicting, stale, or unknown evidence is labelled rather than silently resolved.

Raw research records require editorial review before they become browseable or recommendation-eligible. Publication records, sources, and important changes are versioned for audit.
