Source ledger
The starting sources behind market discovery, taxonomy and policy on this directory sit below, and none of it stands in for a record's own evidence. A company page or a product page carries a separate, dated packet checked against that provider's own published statements, and that packet lives on the record, never here.
Nothing below replaces it. Open a name to see what it was actually used for.
A ledger like this earns its keep only if it stays current, and staying current means someone actually owns the job of checking it, not letting it fossilize the day it was first published. So it gets revisited whenever the underlying taxonomy or policy changes, not on a fixed schedule.
New sources get added quietly, as the research expands. None of it is ranked by importance.
What this ledger is
This ledger lists the starting sources used for market discovery, taxonomy and policy: the inputs that shaped how the directory is organized, not the dated source record behind any individual company or product record. Those live on the record itself.
