What’s in a record

• product, category, and the canonical page slug
• attribution: manufacturer, status (confirmed / probable / rumored / unknown), evidence tier, and either the graded sources or, for unknowns, the documented checked list of databases searched
• history of prior manufacturers with dates and sources — the change-log record
• last_verified, so you can judge freshness for yourself
• the common-claim debunk, FAQ text, and the name-brand equivalent
