The listing, marked up

Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.

We're the system of record for the Canadian vehicle: raw automotive data turned into facts that can be checked. Our open-source VIN decoder sits underneath a government vehicle registry.
Some of what's interesting:
- A government registry, a manufacturer's own filing, a listing site and an insurance record will describe the same truck four different ways, and nothing in any of those files says they're the same truck. Reconciling that, for every vehicle in the country, in a way that holds up when a regulator asks how you know, is most of the data work.
- Seventeen characters on a door frame encode manufacturer, plant, model year and build attributes — badly, inconsistently, and differently per manufacturer. Public reference data covers some of it. The rest gets worked out from filings, recall documents, and patterns inferred across millions of vehicles.
- We read vehicles directly over OBD-II now. Forty modules answered on a recent Hyundai, each reporting its own part number and installed software version. Nothing downstream of the VIN moves when a module is reflashed, so no registration, history report or dealer system knows what software is actually in a car.
Hiring: VIN Decode Engineer, Data Platform Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Founding Engineer (dealer platform). TypeScript, Postgres, Cloudflare Workers.

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 16 points (from 45 before penalties). Reviewed 21 Sep 2026.
