What decision are you trying to improve?
A product name is not a requirement. Start with the operating loop, then inspect the systems and data attached to it.

The directory contract
Evidence before opinion.
- Every material product claim links to a current source.
Vendor statements are labeled; BTU Graph analysis is kept separate. - We compare fit, boundaries, and questions—not synthetic scores.
No star ratings, pay-to-rank placements, or anonymous review theater. - Private Oil Price API account data never becomes a public relationship.
Audience patterns may shape research priorities; publication requires independent evidence.
