Method and limits

We selected directory products with relevant public materials and linked each observation to the vendor’s own source. Selection does not measure popularity, market share, completeness, or product quality. The pilot checks are original editorial suggestions; no hands-on testing, price benchmarking, or legal compliance determination is claimed. Confirm current plan scope and terms directly.
