AI-native
Designed for AI, with JSON, llms.txt, OpenAPI and MCP interfaces that models and agents can call directly. The platform is AI-native: code is developed with AI, data engines collect and cross-check sources daily, and AI runs monitoring and fixes issues continuously. The team focuses on direction, data definitions and quality control.

Data principles
- Every record carries its source and timestamp (example)
- Sources are cross-checked; conflicts are shown side by side (example: benchmark divergence flags)
- Only facts that have happened are recorded; no estimates for unawarded projects
- History is append-only (price changes, MCP change log)
