Sources on every value
Every value in a result keeps its source URL and the time it was read. This page shows where to find them, what a possible match is, what a recheck reports, and what to do when a result is wrong.
See where a value came from
Open a record. Under Details, each value has a line beneath it that links to its source URL. A value reused from earlier work keeps the time it was first read, and gets a new time only when it’s read again.
When two sources disagree, both stay on the record, each with its own page and time.
See why a record is on the list
Open the record’s Why it matches tab to see each part of your request with the line on the page that settles it. A record that was left out shows Why it’s left out instead.
A match needs a value for each detail you marked required. Optional details can be empty and the result still counts.
Possible matches
When the pages don’t settle one part of your request, the result goes under Possible matches, apart from the matches, with what’s still open. Possible matches come without contact details and aren’t charged.
Imported values
Values from a list you imported stay labeled as yours, separate from what SpecStream finds. Importing doesn’t change or confirm them. To fill in or confirm those values, run a lookup on the rows you choose.
Rechecks
Use Refresh when you need current information. A recheck reads the sources again. A record that changed costs half the price of finding it, and one that comes back unchanged or no longer matches costs 1¢. It reports how many records still match, no longer match, stayed unresolved, or couldn’t be reached, and lists each changed value before and after, with the page where the new one was seen.
A source that didn’t respond never counts as unchanged.
Replay a decision
Every delivered result keeps the decision behind it. Choose Replay on the record’s Why it matches tab, or replay it over the API or MCP, to make the same decision again from the saved pages. A replay reads nothing new, doesn’t change the result, and costs $0. Older results without a saved decision say so.
Report a wrong result
If a result you paid for is wrong, open its Why it matches tab and choose Report a wrong result within 7 days. Say which part was wrong and what’s true instead, with a link if you have one. Every report is reviewed, and a wrong result is refunded. You can also contact support.
