How Motrix rates, traces and cites every value
All sources are fictional: names, documents, revisions and dates are invented; every host is example.

How sources are graded
Every value carries the class of the source behind it, from A (factory documentation) to D (unverified). The class tells you how much weight a value can bear, not whether it is right for your vehicle.
Authority classes
Authority class A · OEMWorkshop manuals, parts catalogues, maintenance tables and bulletins published by the vehicle manufacturer.6 sources6 sources
Workshop manuals, parts catalogues, maintenance tables and bulletins published by the vehicle manufacturer.
Drawn asAuthority class A · OEMcoverage segment
How Motrix treats it
- The reference for a value when the document covers this vehicle and its production range.
- Each source records its revision. When a newer revision exists but has not been retrieved, the source is marked Stale.
- When two sources disagree, even two factory documents, both values stay visible as a conflict.
Authority class B · LicensedTechnical data compiled under licence from manufacturer material, normalised and reviewed by the provider.2 sources2 sources
Technical data compiled under licence from manufacturer material, normalised and reviewed by the provider.
Drawn asAuthority class B · Licensedcoverage segment
How Motrix treats it
- Cited as the provider’s release, never relabelled as factory data.
- Fills areas where no factory document is connected (in the example data: fault codes and wiring sheets).
- Carries the same weight as class A in a conflict. Motrix does not rank the two.
Authority class C · SecondaryIndependent repair literature, such as handbooks and reference works.1 source1 source
Independent repair literature, such as handbooks and reference works.
Drawn asAuthority class C · Secondarycoverage segment
How Motrix treats it
- Never an answer: Motrix shows a value only when a class A or B source states it.
- Listed in the source library with its own badge, so you can see what Motrix holds and does not use.
- In the example data it holds aftermarket cross-references, which are therefore not shown.
Authority class D · UnverifiedForum threads and other community or unreviewed material.1 source1 source
Forum threads and other community or unreviewed material.
Drawn asAuthority class D · Unverifiedcoverage segment
How Motrix treats it
- Never an answer, not even next to an authoritative value.
- Stays Pending review until a reviewer verifies it. For the example sources no review takes place.
- Drawn with a dashed badge, so it reads as provisional at a glance.
Evidence lifecycle
How a fact will travel from a document into Motrix. This pipeline is in development: each example source is only marked with these steps, and no document was retrieved or reviewed. The Source Evidence drawer shows the same four steps, with invented dates, for each source.
Step 1: Retrieved
The document will be fetched from its publisher and stored with its revision and retrieval date.
Ingest pipeline
Step 2: Extracted
Values, tables and figures will be read out, each with the page or section it came from.
Extraction job
Step 3: Normalised
Units, thread notation and applicability will be mapped to one model. Nm is canonical; angles are never converted.
Normaliser
Step 4: Reviewed
A technical reviewer will check each extracted fact against its page before the source counts as verified.

Evidence status of a source
- Marked verified7 sources
- The example record is marked as having passed all four steps on the current revision of the document. No review took place.
- Pending review2 sources
- The example record is marked as retrieved and extracted, not yet reviewed. Its values are shown, marked as pending.
- Stale1 source
- The example record is marked as reviewed, with a newer revision of the document that was not retrieved.
