A dated record of data refreshes, corrections, and methodology changes on PlainFranchise. We list only real, verifiable changes. See our corrections process if a figure looks wrong, or methodology for how the FDD pipeline works.

Accountability

Public /corrections alias and identity CiteThis blocks

Added a /corrections redirect to the editorial corrections process and Cite this page blocks on identity and legal pages so readers have a stable citation string and a clear path to report data issues.

Crawl hygiene

Noindex letter hubs dropped from sitemap-pages

Removed /browse/franchises/[a-z] letter hubs from the pages sitemap while keeping the indexable /browse/franchises hub (commit 19b053a).

Crawl freshness

Honest per-route sitemap lastmod

Static and related sitemap entries now stamp lastmod from git or data vintage per page instead of a single portal-wide fingerprint (commit 096dcc0).
