Data sources, update rhythm and limits

Auto Insight Lab by AutoScore360 organises public information into buyer tools and summaries. This page explains what is current, what is a dated snapshot and where readers should verify details before making a purchase decision.

Main source categories

ANCAP ratings

Used for safety rating pages, sub-score comparisons and SafetyScore-style rankings. Tested year and protocol context remain important.

Recall notices

Used for recall search and recall interpretation articles. The current local CSV runs through 29 January 2026. The planned September 2026 refresh remains outstanding. A replacement completion date has not been confirmed; notices after the snapshot date may be missing. Recall count is not treated as a direct quality score.

Specs, pricing and ownership costs

Used for model pages, comparisons and the ownership-cost estimate. Model v1.4 exposes source classes, confidence, uncertainty ranges and editable assumptions. Always replace illustrative defaults with current dealer, insurer and registration quotes.

Update standard

Snapshot datasets

Recall and ANCAP tables state their coverage period. Their date describes the dataset, not necessarily the date you are reading the page. “Page updated” records content or navigation edits; it does not mean that the underlying specifications or dataset have been rechecked. Use the dated source notes for that information.

Fast-changing information

PHEV status, pricing, availability and announced specifications are reviewed more often and carry a visible checked date where they affect the buying conclusion.

Status language

Models are labelled on sale, incoming or watchlist. Announced figures are kept separate from confirmed Australian production specifications.

Corrections

Material corrections update the affected page and are recorded in the public update log so readers can see what changed.

How to read the site

Scores are shortlist tools

Scores and rankings are designed to structure research, not replace inspection, test drives, finance checks, insurance quotes or professional advice.

PHEV claims need extra caution

Battery range, towing and payload are especially sensitive to test cycle, grade, load, accessories and driving pattern. Concept-stage models such as Chery KP31 should be treated as watchlist information until final Australian specifications arrive.

AI assistance does not replace review

AI may assist with drafting, structure and comparison prompts. The site editor remains responsible for checking material claims, source links, status labels and limitations before publication. These pages are not road tests conducted by AutoScore360.

Corrections are welcome

If a source, specification or link is outdated, use the contact and corrections page so the site can be updated cleanly.
