What is not in the table

Private commerce stays separate.

Catalogue identity and retailer offers

Atlas catalogue identity, retailer listings and approved Awin, Redbrain or Amazon links are private or contract-governed layers. They are not open datasets, do not count as independent evidence and are not described here as reusable public data.

No public dataset download

ApplianceBench publishes source-attributed evidence views, not a redistributable copy of the combined source data. This page is a provenance and licence register, so it carries no Dataset or DataDownload structured data.

Corrections and changes

Normalisation, exact-model matching and calculations are ApplianceBench modifications. Source corrections, restrictions and deletion signals are adopted through the governed daily projection before the affected fact is shown again.
