Gemini AI
Legacy AI-assisted extraction, not published as evidence
[not published]
data_points:
- legacy admissions and deadline fields withheld
- legacy tuition and format fields withheld
- legacy curriculum and recruiter fields withheld
methodology:

The legacy extraction did not retain exact source URLs and access dates for every field. Those values are not rendered as facts and cannot enter insights or MCP answers.

# Publication requires a direct source URL, publisher, source date, access date, review state, and field-level provenance.

Reddit community evidence
Anonymous reports reviewed at the claim and source level
[approval pending]
data_points:
- program and university experience reports
- academics, admissions, recruiting, culture, and workload topics
- claim-level source links and publication dates
- confidence and editorial-review state
- source deletion reconciliation
methodology:

Collection uses Reddit's approved OAuth Data API. No usernames are retained. A claim needs at least two active sources, confidence of 70% or more, and explicit editorial publication before it can appear.

# Live collection and publication remain inactive until Reddit approves UniList API access.

data_points:
