Evidence-state reference

Missing, conflicting, and estimated specs

Uncertainty is part of the record. OutdoorSpecs keeps it visible instead of substituting a clean-looking number.

Verified

The assertion has eligible source support and can display. Other capabilities still depend on field type, variant scope, comparability, lifecycle, and freshness.

Pending or not published

Pending means evidence work remains unresolved. Not published means the source set does not provide a publishable value. Neither state becomes zero, an average, or an inferred value.

Ambiguous

The evidence cannot be assigned cleanly to the canonical product or variant. It can remain inspectable without entering canonical filters or calculations.

Conflict

Two or more source observations disagree and the accepted rules do not resolve the difference. The conflict remains visible, and no single value is selected for comparison.

Manufacturer estimate

The manufacturer labels or presents the value as an estimate. OutdoorSpecs displays that status and excludes the number from filtering, ranking, medians, ranges, charts, and calculations.
