Evidence before certainty.
The newest graphic can hide a construction that’s years old. We separate what a stick looks like from what the evidence establishes underneath.
79 published constructions. Every record keeps its confidence and context. Unknown stays unknown.
How we research →A change of paint starts an investigation. It does not automatically change the documented build.
Custom player curves remain distinct. Retail equivalents are labelled as comparisons unless evidence establishes an exact match.
Follow dated equipment changes and the players who experiment most.
