Source ledger
Each researched field should point to a first-party or otherwise identified source, with a checked date. Unknown and conflicting values remain explicit.
Correction record · directory research
An earlier version named a contributor and asserted detailed research totals, contact attempts, data-completeness percentages, launch outcomes and a recommendation. No matching evidence was recorded in the site's source trail. Those personal and performance claims have been removed.
Directory research produces plausible-looking numbers: records checked, phone calls made, fields completed and listings published. Without the intake sheet, source columns, reviewer notes and release mapping, those numbers are still assertions.
The audit found no support here for the former identity, dates, quantities, outreach activity, data-quality result or endorsement. A public directory may contain records, but its existence does not establish who researched them or whether one person caused its level of completeness.
The page remains addressable to correct the record. It does not certify an individual, a cohort, a client relationship or employment.
A defensible record follows the data from source to accepted release and preserves uncertainty instead of rewarding neat but invented completeness.
Each researched field should point to a first-party or otherwise identified source, with a checked date. Unknown and conflicting values remain explicit.
The working sheet or task system should connect the contributor to specific rows or batches, with consent for any public personal attribution.
A reviewer records the sample size, errors found, corrections made and limits. “Verified” must state what was checked and how.
Published totals need a dated import, release or diff that maps accepted records to public pages. Do not equate work in a spreadsheet with a live result.
Completeness and accuracy are different measures. Neither establishes downstream traffic, customer value or personal performance without additional evidence.
Do not use this page as a reference, testimonial, employment check, certificate or proof of any person's role in a directory project. It records that the old publication standard failed its evidence test.
Any future replacement must start from contributor consent and the underlying source ledger, not from the former narrative. It should identify the verified batch, review method, release state and limitations.
