Method and provenance
- Dataset version v0a956cde2114 is the first 12 hex characters of the SHA-256 of the published vendor dataset file. Any data change produces a new version.
- As-of date 2026-10-12 is the most recent evidence review date (
lastReviewed) among directory vendors, excluding vendor-submitted listings. Submission approval dates do not establish an independent evidence review. This is not the time the page was built. - Directory census runs the same filter the vendor directory uses, so the vendor count here matches what visitors can browse.
- Vendor profiles are compiled from public sources and vendor submissions; see the methodology and the review policy. Machine-readable summaries: llms.txt and llms-full.txt.
