How sources are used
Source pages are inputs for collection and comparison. Check attempts, successful comparisons, and editorial decisions have separate dates. A fetched page does not establish a new editorial review.
Source Registry
Original registry date: July 2, 2026
Trade Index Data Sources
This directory lists the real source inputs currently documented in the Trade Index repository.
What Trade Index adds
Trade Index preserves the July ledger and its review history. The September Adopt Me snapshot passes separate identity, coverage, date, and unit checks. Brainrot and Grow a Garden still use July values. Trade Index does not claim ownership of third-party source data.
Unit compatibility and independent evidence
Adopt Me now uses AdoptMeValues.app Normal / No Potion values directly. These are not converted to the historical Trade Index score or AdoptMeTradingValues Ride Potion units. Grow a Garden source units remain unmapped. Brainrot income per second is a game statistic, not a trade price.
A mirror or another page from the same publisher does not count as independent agreement. Failed requests, missing recognized tables, unit conflicts, and inconsistent rows are recorded without replacing the last published value.

Adopt Me
Fields documented
exact pet name, normal no-potion value, source rarity, numeric source demand rank, source item URL, source chart point date
Workflow role
Dataset V2 Adopt Me source. The published snapshot uses its Normal / No Potion values directly as a separate unit. Weekly checks compare exact item pages with the active V2 baseline and create proposals only.
Source record checked
2026-09-28
Limitations
- The September 28 date is the capture date. Source chart dates do not prove when each value last changed.
- No conversion to Ride Potion units or the historical Trade Index score is claimed.
- Variant premiums and Trade Index tiers are not carried into the V2 snapshot. The source demand rank is stored but not mapped to a Trade Index demand label.

Adopt Me, Steal a Brainrot, Grow a Garden
Fields documented
item id, item name, rarity, value tier, value points, demand label, income rate, cost, notes
Workflow role
Preserved July 2, 2026 V1 ledger baseline. Brainrot and Grow a Garden still publish these records; Adopt Me publishes Dataset V2 in a separate unit.
Source record checked
2026-07-02
Limitations
- The repository contains current values but does not contain a complete verified editorial change history before structured records began.
- Some item notes were written before the provenance registry existed and should be treated as descriptive notes, not verified change reasons.

Adopt Me
Fields documented
pet name, rarity text, value text, source page modified date when available
Workflow role
Historical cross-check and allowlisted manual-review input. Its Ride Potion values cannot propose a change to the active Normal / No Potion unit.
Source record checked
2026-09-28
Limitations
- The parser depends on public page table structure and can fail if the page layout changes.
- Ride Potion units have not been mapped to the existing Trade Index score. A fetched number cannot be substituted for that score.
- Fresh demand is not inferred from value. An explicit recognized source demand label is required.
- Public availability is not treated as endorsement, a formal relationship, or unrestricted reuse permission.

Games
Steal a Brainrot
Fields documented
item name, rarity text, income rate, cost, page modified date when available
Workflow role
Allowlisted Brainrot table input for income-per-second comparisons. Collection produces observations and proposals, not approvals.
Source record checked
2026-09-28
Limitations
- The collector requires explicit table headings and flags malformed or ambiguous rows for manual review.
- Income is not a trade price. Conflicting observations are flagged rather than resolved by source order.
- Public article data can lag behind live game changes.

Games
Steal a Brainrot
Fields documented
item name, explicit income-per-second field, explicit demand label when available, page modified date when available
Workflow role
Additional allowlisted Brainrot source. Only tables with explicit income units can supply numerical comparisons.
Source record checked
2026-09-28
Limitations
- Rarity can be unknown when the article details do not expose a separate rarity field.
- The conservative collector does not guess income from numeric pairs in prose. Missing recognized tables require manual review.
- Public article data can lag behind live game changes.

U7BUY Grow a Garden pet values
Games
Grow a Garden
Fields documented
pet name, rarity text, value text, token value, daily growth or demand text, source page date when available
Workflow role
Allowlisted Grow a Garden observation source. Its numerical scale is not mapped to the stored Trade Index score, so collection requires manual review.
Source record checked
2026-09-28
Limitations
- Value, token, and growth fields can use different units. The collector does not guess a conversion or substitute an ambiguous score.
- The collector reads explicit tables. Same-site mirrors are not separate sources or independent agreement.
- Growth percentages are not treated as demand. Only explicit recognized demand labels are observations.
- Public availability is not treated as endorsement, a formal relationship, or unrestricted reuse permission.
