Limits and method

22

Limitations and open questions

Known constraints and missing evidence from the collected pages.

The collected pages do not mention specific competitors. Evidence gaps include lack of detailed pricing for all plans, no independent review ratings, and no explicit uptime or status page information. Open questions remain about the exact scope of the free tier and the future of Cody plans after the announced changes.

23

Sources, method, and limitations

Evidence inventory, collection method, provider use, and constraints.

This report is based on 15 collected pages from sourcegraph.com, including the homepage, about, pricing, docs, and solution pages. The evidence catalog includes static and rendered pages, with external proof search used for verification. Limitations include potential marketing bias in solution pages and lack of third-party validation for claims.
