Keep&Repair
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
- Official manufacturer dataSupplied or confirmed by the brand itself: manuals, specifications, original parts.
- Official public dataFrom public databases — notably the French repairability index published on data.gouv.fr under the Licence Ouverte / Etalab.
- Data from a named partnerSpare-part sellers and repair-guide databases. The partner is always named.
- Data computed by Keep&RepairAverages, counts and summaries derived from the above. Flagged as estimates, never presented as official.
- 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.
