How much do we know?
A source is a published page or document behind a claim. The label measures what is documented, not whether a system is good or safe. Missing information does not prove that a safeguard is missing.

optional detailFull record and details
The interface and explanatory guides are translated. Record names, record descriptions, quotations, detailed editorial notes, and linked public documents stay in their published language so evidence is not silently changed.
If this affects someone
The Logo Detection and Classification Toolkit is designed with the intent to detect third parties who are misusing HMRC and HMG trademark logos.
If the data analyst feels that results are not good or the model performed poorly, they will inform the developer about this issue to review. HMRC Cybersecurity team follows a legal procedure to take down suspicious URLs once they have been identified and organisations can appeal as part of these legal processes.
The dataset contains images of logos (overlaid on top of random images) that we are protecting.

The score orders work, not people.
Review priority rises for rights-sensitive uses, missing sources, unanswered accountability fields, and old evidence. Strong official documentation lowers it. The score is not a verdict on safety, fairness, or legality.
A missing field means the attached public sources did not answer it. Coverage is uneven, publication does not prove performance, and a certificate has a defined boundary.
