A cell marked “not verified” means we could not source the claim on Thoropass’s own website. It is not a statement that the capability is missing. We only publish a claim about a named company when we have read it on that company’s own page. Where we could, the wording comes from our sourced vendor tables, which carry the source URL and the date they were read.
