External links were grounded in one live web search. Search snippets are leads, not independently scraped page content; rejected links remain available in Review evidence.

Not found on the collected pages: contact and support, security and compliance, uptime and status page. This only means Scout did not find it on the pages it read; it says nothing about the company itself.

Not found in the collected public sources: public roadmap, status page, separate help center or knowledge base.

Not measurable: wayback: rate limited by archive.org, ladder stopped after 1 probe(s). A gap here means the lookup was unavailable, not that the finding is negative.

First-party evidence:

• The privacy policy states that Font Awesome collects data about visits to fontawesome.com, including pages visited and when, using cookies, server logs, and other methods W70W71.
• The policy also mentions that data is used to improve the website, but specific analytics tools are not named W72.

The collected pages do not mention any competitors by name. Evidence gaps include lack of detailed security certifications, uptime statistics, and independent customer reviews. Open questions remain about the specifics of the Enterprise plan and the full extent of the icon library.

This report is based on 8 collected pages from fontawesome.com, including the homepage, pricing, changelog, and privacy policy. The evidence catalog includes 8 pages out of 15 planned, with partial static collection and complete browser rendering rendering. External proof search was performed but no review profiles were scraped. Limitations include missing pages and potential recency of information.
