Core rule. Collection is not publication. A monitored page, raw capture, or automated observation does not become a public claim without review.
Publication threshold. A crawlable company profile requires at least one monitored public source and one reviewed, published change.
1. Select primary sources
EXVIV favors pages where a company defines its own offer or operations: pricing, plan, product, changelog, documentation, policy, status, trust, careers, and other official pages. Secondary reporting can help discovery, but time-sensitive facts should link to the primary public source whenever one is available.
2. Establish and preserve a baseline
The first observation establishes a comparison point; it is not automatically a change event. EXVIV records capture time, the resolved source URL, and normalized page evidence needed to compare later observations. Source health and capture failures remain operational states, not published market claims.
3. Normalize and compare
Routine layout churn, timestamps, tracking parameters, rotating modules, and other unstable elements can create false differences. EXVIV normalizes the evidence and uses deterministic comparison for exact fields where possible. Automated analysis can help classify or summarize a candidate change, but it does not replace the publication review.
4. Review materiality and source support
A reviewer checks whether the source supports the claimed change, whether the change may affect a product or go-to-market decision, and whether the summary separates observed fact from interpretation. Unsupported, trivial, duplicate, stale, or ambiguous candidates are withheld or rejected.
5. Control public indexability
Monitoring depth and public indexability are separate. Company routes may exist so authorized workflows can resolve them, but profiles without the publication threshold carry a noindex directive and are excluded from the sitemap, public company directory, market profile links, and comparison choices. They can become discoverable after qualifying evidence is reviewed and published.
6. Date and update the record
Evidence pages show detection and review dates. Company and market sitemap dates come from their latest qualifying reviewed evidence, not from an unrelated dataset rebuild. Research pages show their publication and verification dates. Material corrections should update the affected page and its record.
7. Preserve uncertainty
EXVIV does not claim exhaustive coverage, guaranteed detection, or causal business outcomes. Readers should check the linked current source before acting on a time-sensitive fact. See the corrections policy to challenge a record.
