How this stays useful

A directory is only as good as its last check.

01Every external listing points to an official source.

02Access, audience, region, and the last check are visible before you click.

03Source verification is never presented as a provider-quality audit.

04Every listing has a correction route and a written limitation.

05Checks and material changes stay visible in an append-only maintenance trail.

Can you find, compare, and challenge a textile resource?

Complete three realistic tasks on your own device. The runner records an anonymous session code, task outcome, one friction category, and timing. It does not ask for your name, email, free-text notes, audio, video, or screen recording.

Self-guided sessions expose search and labeling problems but remain separate from the moderated validation target.
