Frequently asked questions
What link should be checked before matching results?
Link procedure, buyer and lot; identify the distribution used for context.
What if sources appear to contradict each other?
Sector data does not correct a notice: keep statistical context and contract stage separate.
Do the listed portals provide independent confirmation?
Not necessarily. Identify the producer and underlying document. Two interfaces distributing one item can check transcription but do not establish a fact independently twice.
