# Harpd Open Data

A GitHub-ready export of the public Harpd datasets — Rank, research, evidence,
citations, methodology and the field schema — with provenance baked in.

## How it is generated

Each file is regenerated from live public Harpd data on request. Every JSON
and CSV payload carries its own generatedAt plus the canonical Harpd URL
it was derived from, so redistribution keeps provenance automatically.

## Limitations

- Rank Points are promotional placement purchased with Credits, not an editorial quality score.
- Harpd publishes no first-party traffic, revenue or review figures for third-party products.
- Benchmark records separate MEASURED from MODELED results; a modeled record is an estimate.
