They must be replaced with a licensed data source before they can be relied on. **Are the brand scores a valuation?** No. The brand coverage index describes what a brand catalogue covers across ten dimensions. It is editorial opinion based on public information, it is not a rating or certification, and it is not a financial valuation or investment recommendation. **How are comparison scores produced?** Each comparison scores both options 0-100 on named decision factors. The weighted total is the average across factors. Readers can re-weight the factors on the brand index to get their own ordering. **What is verified in each app record?** The app name, its category and its store links. Many store links point to an official store search rather than a direct package listing; those are labelled store-search. An app is attributed to a parent company only when it is that vendor first-party app or the relationship is documented. **Can a brand request a correction?** Yes. Brands and manufacturers may request a correction, clarification or removal using the corrections policy. Supported requests are applied and the change is noted. **What is not medical advice?** Nothing here. Health and medical device listings are educational only and are not medical advice. ## Content rules - Health and medical listings are not medical advice. - Legal pages require jurisdiction-specific review before production. - Community contributions are user-generated and carry their own disclaimers. - Corrections policy: see https://hi-spark.net/corrections-policy.html ## Open data (CC BY 4.0) - Dataset landing page: https://hi-spark.net/dataset.html - Machine-readable dataset (JSON, 1,541 records, CC BY 4.0): https://hi-spark.net/data/iot-atlas-open-dataset.json - Plain-text corpus for answer engines: https://hi-spark.net/llms-full.txt - Recently verified records (Atom): https://hi-spark.net/feed.xml - Citation: IoT Atlas.
