# Machine Readable Product Truth

## Principle

Product claims, attributes, availability, compatibility, price, policy, and use-case data should be explicit enough for both people and software agents to interpret correctly.

## Application rule

Apply only when supported by the current decision context. For platform-specific implementation details, load the relevant dated card under `references/2026/` and re-check freshness.
