Methodology
How records are collected, graded, versioned and released. The rules are enforced by the database, not by convention.
Every record carries one grade
| A | Directly evidenced / executed |
| B | Strong primary-source evidence |
| C | Credible secondary-source evidence |
| D | Reported or announced, not independently verified |
| E | Estimate or inference |
Grade E is reserved for estimates. Estimates, asking prices, announcements and appraisals are never mixed with executed transactions.
Draft → verified
Records start as draft. A record can only become verified once it has primary evidence attached — an archived copy of the source. Archived means the page was captured and stored immutably (SHA-256); Link only means the publisher blocked automated capture, so the record cannot be verified until a copy is saved manually.
Records are never edited in place: every change is a new version with a reason, and the history is shown on each record page.
Two separate questions
Collecting a fact and publishing it are different decisions. A record is publishable only when it is verified, public, rights-cleared and in UK + EU scope. Third-party sale data needs legal review before it can be cleared.
Beta, preview and publish
This site is the beta build. Beta shows every public-source record with its status — drafts are labelled and not yet independently verified. Publish shows only verified, rights-cleared records from sources whose terms are cleared. Unreviewed insolvency-notice matches are never shown publicly.
UK + EU
The UK and the 27 EU member states. US and other markets appear only as labelled context.
No inference
We never infer drawn amounts, GPU counts, recovery rates or coordinates. Where a figure is not disclosed, the page says “Not disclosed”. We keep no database of individuals.
