Methodology / provenance

A directory becomes useful when every row can answer “according to whom?”

BARRAMUNDI.ASIA is an independent evidence layer for Asian seafood sourcing. This page defines what can be published, how it is connected, and what the directory still refuses to claim.

Data model

Keep the relationships visible.

Organization

The canonical entity: producer, farm, hatchery, research body, or regulator.

Facility

The place where farming, hatchery, R&D, processing, or other capability exists.

Product

A species plus only the commercial attributes a source actually provides.

Evidence

A source URL, owner, observation date, confidence, and the claim it supports.

Source hierarchy

Conflicts stay legible.

When two sources disagree, the platform does not ask an LLM to pick a confident answer. It keeps the claims, dates, and source hierarchy available for moderation.

  1. 01Government / regulator
  2. 02Certification body / official registry
  3. 03Industry / trade association
  4. 04Company official source
  5. 05Credible trade publication or other third-party source

Publication rules

Unknown is not no.

No invented capacity, MOQ, or shelf life.

If a source does not provide the value, the record shows “Not provided”. Storage and shelf-life information stays tied to the supplier or authoritative source.

Verified has a narrow meaning.

A future human review can verify identity or supplied information. It never means guaranteed supplier, guaranteed quality, or guaranteed fulfilment.

A domain is not an identity.

Historical Barramundi Asia pages are recovery evidence, not permission to impersonate an old company or copy its content. The new product is independent.

Historical recovery

Recover the topic. Rebuild the value.

The recovery run found a historical company / farm / processing footprint. Those pages are treated as research leads unless they have a semantically valid, independently sourced destination in the current catalogue.
