Field notes
The homepage lays out named-business records alongside dossiers about ranking methods, ownership, and publishing patterns. One example compares two sites with equal product points but overall scores of 64 and 40; another gives publisher-declared timestamps for four lists clustered within 173 seconds. The record also states that a business benefiting from a page is not, by itself, proof of payment or ownership.
