03 / Clarity, by design.

A point in time

We record what a specific page stated on a specific date, and hash the capture. We never present a snapshot as a live feed.

Source wording first

Figures keep the source’s own wording — for example, the WLTP figure is published as “Combined range”, with additional conditions left unspecified in this preview.

Keep the test cycle

WLTP and NEDC are different test cycles. We publish both only when the source does, and we never average or convert between them.

Make uncertainty visible

Fields we have not checked — price, charging — are labelled “Not yet verified”. We never substitute zeros, placeholders or estimates.

Narrow claims

This first record covers BYD SEAL Premium in Australia. Research also considers Thailand; no Thai vehicle record is published yet.
