Methodology

Trust comes from showing
the work.

Videos, captions, descriptions, model output, and retailer pages begin as untrusted source material. The directory publishes a smaller, reviewed subset with its evidence attached.

9reviewed source records
7sources with public facts
14public observations
5sources with open checks

01 / Publication path

From video to public fact

  1. 01

    Find a disclosure

    A public video or uploader description identifies a player and discusses equipment.

  2. 02

    Extract a draft

    Gemini can propose atomic claims and timestamps. Every proposal begins pending.

  3. 03

    Check the source

    A reviewer compares each claim with accessible video, transcript, frames, or the uploader description and records the method used.

  4. 04

    Explain every hold

    Every pending claim needs a reason and a concrete next source check before the record can pass publication checks.

  5. 05

    Publish the accepted subset

    Only verified or corrected values appear as facts. The interface can show which fields remain under review without exposing their proposed values.

02 / Claim decisions

Four statuses, two public

Published

Verified

The checked source supports the value and its attribution.

Published

Corrected

The source supports a reviewer-corrected value, with the original attempt retained for audit.

Not published

Pending

The value stays hidden, but its review reason and next source check are recorded.

Not published

Rejected

The source does not support the model's proposed claim.

03 / Guardrails

What we refuse to smooth over

Dates

An old video or rating stays historical. It is never silently presented as current.

Uncertainty

“Previous version,” “around 55,” and unresolved gauge remain exactly that.

Identity

Players are not merged across videos by first name, appearance, or assumption.

Product links

A retail listing can help normalize a name, but it cannot prove what was actually used.

Multiple setups

Backup, borrowed, challenge, and regular rackets remain separate when the source distinguishes them.

Model output

A second model pass is still model agreement—not independent verification.
