Commerce cannot rewrite the evidence.
EnduraIndex may later test links to parts, repair services, comparison alternatives, replacement products, or merchants. Phase 2 contains no commerce modules or active offers.
Editorial separation
Merchant availability, price, affiliate status, and any future commission are stored separately from ownership, failure, repair, and publication-confidence data. They cannot promote a model’s evidence state or change reliability wording.
Future monetized links
If an outbound link can generate compensation, that relationship must be disclosed where the link appears. An offer’s absence or removal must not change the reliability record.
No ranking by payment
EnduraIndex does not use commission to produce a reliability score, declare a comparison winner, or order reliability conclusions. The Validation MVP has no “best product” ranking.
