Data Methodology

Every data point on RobotSpace.io has an evidence chain: source → parser → assertion → confidence scoring → canonical field → public projection.

Confidence thresholds: Identity (85%), Technical specs (90%), Compatibility (90%), News metadata (80%).

Never published: AI-only unsupported inference (30% cap), expired data, fake ratings or fabricated numbers.

Source terms, rate limits and permitted fields are reviewed before a collector is activated. A listed resource does not mean every page or image can be republished.
