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: company and ownership, 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: changelog or release notes, 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.
