Paid products and commerce
None are built yet, and none will be until demand is validated. The frozen spec (P16/P17) treats commerce as a later decision, not a feature: building a store before anyone asks for a product would be fabrication. If you want a bulk export, an API tier or a research product, open a GitHub issue and say what you would use it for.
Research authoring follows the same honesty rule: every statement is labelled Fact, Calculation, Analysis or External, and every one links to its source. See /research.
