Aurora asked us to cover swap insurance, confidentiality, and whether users are shielded from questionable liquidity. Real properties a reader would want, and this site has no instrument for any of them.

It also had no way to say so. The registry carries free-text fields with no source and no date, and a page that printed a vendor's claim unqualified would make us the thing we were built against — /about says it plainly: marketing pages quote "real-time" without a number; this page quotes the number.

The shape

claims?: {
  label: string;       // "Swap insurance"
  value: string;       // the provider's position, plain words
  source: string;      // https URL where we read it
  verifiedAt: string;  // YYYY-MM-DD a human last looked
}[]

Three fields a measurement does not need, all required.

Rendered in its own section, after the description and before the measured leaderboard, under a heading that names the speaker: "Stated by , not measured here". The note draws the line:

These are the provider's own statements about properties no benchmark on this site measures. We checked that each one appears at the source on the date given; we did not verify that it holds.

A claim never enters a benchmark, never ranks anything, never moves a leader.

Two guards

Staleness. A claim goes stale at six months and says so on the page rather than ageing quietly into something that reads current. Stale ones sort last, so the section opens on what we stand behind.

No superlatives. A superlative in a claim value fails the test. The measured columns are where a provider gets to be fastest; laundering a boast through a "claim" would be worse than not having the mechanism at all.

The registry test walks every entry, so a malformed claim fails the build instead of reaching a page unsourced.

Nothing is populated

Each claim needs a human to read the source and date it. Inventing them to demonstrate the feature would be the exact failure this is built to prevent.

Found while in there

Seven registry fields (features, pricing, longDescription, founded, docs, github, blog) carry a comment saying they are "surfaced on the product detail page when present". Not one is read by any code. Only description, url, twitter and parent are. The comment now says what is true, so the next person does not add an eighth expecting it to render.
