V8.2.3 Research Update

Latest batch observations are separated from unresolved leads and conflicts. A code can be useful research evidence without being treated as manufacturer-confirmed.

Minor research release

Open Research Leads

Photo leads, owner leads, retailer leads and conflicting identifiers stay visible until the batch can be read and independently checked.

Prefix Discovery

This page tracks which product prefixes have actually been observed and how strong the evidence is. Prefixes are not inferred from fragrance names unless evidence exists.
