Experience is useful.
Evidence and review still matter.
IAR’s future community layer is designed to collect vehicle context and repair outcomes without presenting an anecdote as verified technical information.
IAR verified information
Editorial content with defined applicability, source records, review status, and a visible verification boundary.
- Sources and retrieval dates
- Vehicle applicability
- Technical and safety review
- Published revision history
Community experience
Vehicle-owner or technician observations shown with context and moderation status, never promoted automatically.
- Exact vehicle and configuration
- Symptoms, tests, and measured results
- Repair performed and verification
- Moderation and helpful votes
IAR can make community knowledge useful without confusing an owner’s experience with verified service information. Each contribution keeps its evidence and review status visible.
- 01ShareVehicle, symptom, work, and outcome
- 02CaptureTests, measurements, photos, and conditions
- 03ReviewModeration, abuse controls, and source checks

- 05PublishKeep provenance and uncertainty visible
The trust model is designed before the posting form.
Launching comments without identity, moderation, source separation, abuse controls, privacy rules, and a durable database would weaken IAR. The data contracts support future contributions while the public site remains editorially controlled.
