How do we verify information?

Keep&Repair brings together information from several origins. They are not equally reliable, and we do not merge them: every sensitive value states where it comes from.

Our source hierarchy

  1. Official manufacturer dataSupplied or confirmed by the brand itself: manuals, specifications, original parts.
  2. Official public dataFrom public databases — notably the French repairability index published on data.gouv.fr under the Licence Ouverte / Etalab.
  3. Data from a named partnerSpare-part sellers and repair-guide databases. The partner is always named.
  4. Data computed by Keep&RepairAverages, counts and summaries derived from the above. Flagged as estimates, never presented as official.
  5. Community contributionOwner reviews, questions and answers. Checked before publication, but they do not commit the manufacturer.

Our rules

  • We only display a value if it is present, valid and consistent with the product type.
  • When in doubt we say we do not know, rather than producing a confident answer.
  • A counter shows the same number everywhere on the site: it only counts what you can actually open.
  • A part is only called "buyable now" when a seller, a price, a link and a recent check all exist.
  • A link always carries the label of its real destination: we never call "download" a link that leads to a sign-in page.

Does something look wrong?

Every product page has a "Report an error" button. You can point at the exact information concerned; we put it back into verification.
