Why each item matters
- Operator is identifiable · synthetic check
An About page, an org name in the footer, or imprint metadata. Anonymous sites can't be held accountable, and that's the opposite of a positive contributor.
- At least one contact channel · synthetic check
A mailto:, a contact form, or a visible support address. Synthesised from factors 83 and 84 — passes if either contact form OR mailto: is detected.
- Branded domain email · methodology →
Commercial sites listing 'gmail.com' as the contact address signal that the operator hasn't bothered to set up basic infrastructure — and visitors can't verify the email actually represents the site.
