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.
