Evidence freshness
Each kind of check has its own clock and its own threshold. A price ages in weeks and a feature list in months; sharing one date between them would let an old review pass for a recent check.

|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Checked 8 days ago | Fresh |
| Features | Checked 38 days ago | Fresh |
| Privacy & data | Never checked | Not independently checked |

What remains unverified
- No workflow was run inside the product. Everything here comes from the vendor's documentation and public pages.
- Data handling and the privacy policy were not independently verified during this research cycle. We therefore publish no conclusion about security or where data is stored.
- Export terms and the real cost of leaving are not on this record: we have not tested them.
- The price has been read once only. A single observation says nothing about where the price is heading.
