Transparency
Transparency Policy
DriveClarity is designed to show what is known, what is estimated and what still needs checking.
Last updated: 21 May 2026
Evidence before certainty
DriveClarity should not make a confident vehicle claim unless the information is supported by a source label, a confidence label or a clear explanation of the assumption being used.
How data is labelled
- Verified: source-labelled information with clear support.
- Manufacturer supplied: information published by the manufacturer.
- Estimated: calculated or inferred guidance with assumptions visible.
- Cached verified: previously verified information being reused safely.
- Stale: source-labelled information that may need a fresh check.
- Needs verification: information that should not be treated as final.
- Unavailable: missing information that should not be invented.
Comparison readiness
A vehicle should not be treated as comparison-ready if important source-labelled facts are missing. In that case, DriveClarity should explain the gap rather than forcing a ranking.
Commercial influence
DriveClarity should disclose any future dealer, finance, insurance, advertising, referral or affiliate influence before a buyer relies on customer-facing guidance.
