Methodology and caveats
Specs come from manufacturer datasheets and primary retailer spec pages, with per-row confidence flags (how the spec database works). Prices are dated observations from listings, labeled listing vs reference (methodology). Law verdicts are researched from primary government sources with explicit uncertainty; they are research summaries, not legal advice, and every page carries its sources and a correction form (the laws guide, site methodology, corrections log).
Stability and change log
URLs on this page are stable. Columns are only added, never renamed or removed. Dated changes to published material are listed in the public corrections log.
