- Tools read entities, relationships and sources through the same data layer as the entry pages. There is no second copy of the facts.
- Comparison fields are defined once, so every tool compares the same things in the same way.
- When a source does not support a field, the tool says so instead of filling the gap.
- Every result links back to the entity page and its sources, so you can check it.
