Contributing a correction

Thank you for helping keep TheTechStack accurate. Corrections are decided by evidence quality, not seniority or vendor preference.

Two ways to contribute

Open a pull request

  1. Edit the relevant records/<company>.json.
  2. Every change needs evidence: add or update the evidence array — URL, source type, a short quote, access date. PRs that change facts without sources will be asked for them.
  3. Pick the honest confidence label:
    • confirmed — the company said it publicly (or you work there and say so in the PR — we'll verify)
    • inferred — strong technical evidence (job post, repo, fingerprint)
    • reported — credible third party
  4. If a tool was replaced, don't delete it — set status: "previous" and add the replacement as a new entry with replaced set. Migrations are data, not noise.
  5. Run npm install && npm run validate before opening the PR.
  6. Company employees may describe their relationship in the PR, but should not post a private work email, employee ID, or other sensitive proof publicly.

Open a correction issue

If you do not want to edit JSON, use the stack correction issue form. A maintainer can turn an evidence-backed issue into a pull request.

Company verification

Only a maintainer may change verified_by_company to true. Employment or company authority can be verified privately when needed; verification evidence is not committed to this repository.

Publication status

The automated path from an approved public correction to the private site build is still being completed. A merged correction is accepted into the public record, but it should not be described as live on the site until a maintainer confirms the site update.
