Data quality and warnings
Hilal surfaces data flags when sources are limited. When you see a data flag on a result, some underlying metrics may come from approximate or fallback sources rather than primary data.

- What data flags indicate
- Using results with limited data
- Verification strategies

Note: The specific warning codes and thresholds displayed in the product have not been fully documented. For authoritative information on data sources and limitations for a specific result, check the AI reasoning section of the product detail page.
How to use results with data flags
For exploration
If you’re browsing early-stage, data flags are informational. The SellerScore is still a useful sorting signal.
Before decision-making
Before committing money to a product:
- Open the product detail and read the AI score reasoning. It calls out which aspects the AI is most confident in. → Score reasoning
- Re-run the search to refresh the data and see if flags persist.
- Cross-check key metrics (price, reviews, BSR, category) against Amazon or other sources.
