CNFans spreadsheet / methodology

Publish fewer records, with a clearer trail.

The site reads a static, validated dataset. Product research and link checks happen offline; a visitor request never triggers a scrape or an invented external search.

Fact layers stay separate

Product factsTitle, raw price, image, category, QC flag and outbound anchors come from the designated FansSheets product page.

Platform knowledgeOperational policies come from current official agent help pages and are date-sensitive.

Community reportsUsed to discover questions and contradictions, never promoted to official policy.

Offline pipeline

Research or sync → normalise → validate → deterministic allocation → write JSON → build. If a sync fails, the previous known-good dataset remains in place. Duplicate identities, invalid images, unsafe source hosts, placeholder content and prohibited CNFans agent links fail validation.

Allocation

This domain receives a stable subset of the shared source catalogue. Deterministic hashing keeps the same input in the same allocation and prevents a build from reshuffling everything. When a source category is too small, deterministic fallback records can be used and must be listed in the internal allocation report.

Link health

Reachable, redirected, blocked and unverifiable are distinct states. A reachable URL proves only that the link responded during the check. It does not prove product quality, authenticity, service quality or delivery.
