The official registry currently supplies neither clause — it does not estimate for its entries, and it explicitly disclaims warranting them [ 4 ] . Plugging today’s numbers into the rule above collapses every entry to “unverified,” regardless of how confidently a listing describes itself, which is precisely why whether tool marketplaces and registries develop real trust and reputation systems is not a third axis. It is Axis…
