How Artificial Index stores truth
The index separates products, companies, model families, versions, releases, pricing snapshots and sources. Verification attaches to fields, not just whole pages.
Field-level evidence
Important facts can link to source records, carry confidence and retain verified-at timestamps.
Historical snapshots
Pricing, versions and benchmarks are snapshots. Old values remain history when providers change them.
Verified
A suitable source supports the specific field, preferring first-party documentation.
Reported
A credible source reports it, but first-party confirmation is incomplete.
Unknown
The field stays empty. Missing data is never filled from assumption.
Lifecycle preservation
Renamed
The old name remains searchable and links to the current record.
Superseded / deprecated
The older system remains in history with the supporting deprecation or migration source.
Discontinued
The record remains visible even after access ends, preserving the AI ecosystem's lineage.
