Corrections policy

How AwesomeTechStack handles a wrong number, an outdated version or a misread technology - what we fix, how fast, and how to tell us.

What this page is for

Every number on this site comes from a measurement: a technology we detected, a version we compared against a release history, a Lighthouse run, a stars count pulled from GitHub. Measurements go wrong. A detector matches the wrong fingerprint, a release history lists a version that was pulled, a site changes between two audits.

This page says what happens then.

What counts as an error

  • A technology we detected that is not there, or one we missed.
  • A version or end-of-life date that does not match the vendor's own release history.
  • A score that cannot be reproduced from the sub-scores shown next to it.
  • A stars, download or ranking figure that contradicts its source.
  • A statement about a plan, price or limit that the product does not do.

An audit that is simply old is not an error. Every report carries the date it was run, and a stack that changed after that date is a new fact, not a correction - re-run the audit and you get the current one.

How to report one

Write to hello@awesometechstack.com with the report URL and what you believe is wrong. A screenshot helps; the vendor's own release page helps more. If it concerns detection, naming the technology and the page it was detected on is enough - we can reproduce the rest.

There is no form, no account and no ticket number. A mail is enough.

What we do

  1. We reproduce it. If we cannot, we say so instead of guessing - and we say what we tried.
  2. We name the cause when we know it, and we say "we do not know yet" when we do not. A plausible cause is not a cause.
  3. We fix the mechanism, not the one page. A detector that misreads one site misreads every site with the same fingerprint, so the fix belongs in the detector.
  4. We say what changed. A corrected report carries its new audit date. A corrected article carries a note at the point of the correction, not a silently edited sentence.

What we do not do

We do not remove a report because its score is unflattering. A score is a measurement of a public website, and the way to change it is to change the stack - which is the entire point of the product. What we do remove is a report built on a measurement we cannot stand behind.

We do not backdate. If an article changes after publication, the change is visible as a change.

Who is responsible

AwesomeTechStack is operated by Volundra GmbH, Austria. The media owner, the registered address and the legal contact are on the imprint. Questions about data we hold are answered in the privacy policy; how the score itself is computed is in the methodology.
