Sources and methodology

How ShortDramaKit preserves source dates, identities, unknowns and evidence limits.

Page updated

Keep facts separate from inferences

Original platform IDs, source URLs and observation dates identify records. We keep reported totals separate from the subset actually observed. Null means unknown; it is not silently changed to zero.

Candidate discovery and title detail acquisition are separate observations. Similar names do not establish that two platform records are the same drama.

Reproducible outcomes

Downloads use explicit selected fields and record missing or failed items. Local files are tested as files, including CSV/JSON structure and archive contents. A successful mock or historical example is not described as current live coverage.

Report an incorrect match or unsupported claim through Support, including the source page and the part of the result you want us to check. Do not include account tokens or private media URLs.
