About the numbers
Counts cover the Pure Neo catalogue. Categories are public categories. Brands are distinct public brands with catalogue products. Products are entries, including separately listed variants and uncategorized products. Specifications are distinct definitions across public categories’ curated lists, not recorded product values or finished articles. Overall totals count each identity once; category and capability cards can overlap, so do not add them. The date marks the last successful snapshot. Failed refreshes retain that snapshot and date. Unavailable means unknown; zero means none counted.
