Documents wanted
What is not on file here, and the maker's document that would settle each line. If you have one, send it: a manual, a drawing, a maker's product page, a photo of the printed instructions, or an email from a maker's support team.
A document, not a claimChecking a document takes minutes; checking a claim takes hours
and still leaves a guess. What you send goes through the same review as every other correction, and nothing changes
until the document says so. The changelog credits the document, not the person who sent it.
How the data is checked.
Worked out from the data, like the counts on the about page: 43 of 50 slide systems and 53 of 168 plates cite no maker document yet, and 135 plates have no screw thread on file.

Open questions
Each has a number in the review queue. The answer changes only when the document named arrives.
Open questions (30)
taurus-toro RQ-001
Which Taurus T.O.R.O. plate number maps to which footprint. The four-plate kit is confirmed; the mapping is published nowhere.

Would settle it: SIG product page or manual naming the host

Would settle it: The Vortex and C-More spec tables, recorded as attributed figures only, never as a derived co-witness verdict
Send a document for thisk RQ-006
Where the Holosun K pattern's two lugs sit. The site keeps the RMSc's two front lugs (retailer guides); Night Fision's MOS-K article says two recoil bosses at the rear of GLOCK's MOS-K cut.
Would settle it: A Holosun or GLOCK drawing
Send a document for thiscz-nocturne RQ-007

Send a document for thisTrijicon RCR on RMR plates RQ-008

The note says Walther ships a plate set, while the RMR route is priced as a C&H plate to buy. Which is true?
Would settle it: Walther's own statement
Send a document for thisViridian RFX35 RQ-025
Viridian's own page says 'RMR Mounting Footprint'; the dataset files it under RMSc (Viridian's RMSc carry optic is the RFX15). A fitment change.
Would settle it: A Viridian document that settles the footprint
Send a document for thisEOTECH EFLX Mini RQ-026
EOTECH's catalogue lists the EFLX (DeltaPoint Pro footprint, 1.4 oz) and an EFLX CE, and no EFLX Mini. Does the product exist and what footprint does it use?
Would settle it: EOTECH's catalogue or manual
Send a document for thisAimpoint ACRO P-1 / P-2 / C-2, COA, Micro T-2 RQ-027
Aimpoint returned 403 to every automated read, so none of its figures were re-checked. The ACRO windows on file are unsourced.
Would settle it: Aimpoint spec sheets read by hand
Send a document for thisBurris FastFire 3 RQ-028
Burris lists 1.5 oz for the kit that includes its Picatinny mount; the 0.9 oz on file is unsourced.

Send a document for thisRiton 3 TACTIX PRD, 507K X3, 407K X3, Vortex Venom, Defender-SL, Crimson Trace, Primary Arms and other small brands RQ-031

Would settle it: A maker page or manual for each
Send a document for thiswalther-pdp1: PDP 1.0 to DeltaPoint Pro / Docter Venom RQ-032
Both plate links return HTTP 500 (carl-walther.com product ids 2859238 and 2859211) while the site itself is up. Re-check; if still 500 next run, drop the url and fall back to the brand link.
Would settle it: A working Walther listing
Send a document for thisHolosun EPS and EPS Carry RQ-033
The product url redirects to a category page (holosun.com/products-category/pistol-sights). The product page is gone.

Send a document for thisredirected plate links: hk-or, sa-aos, psa-dagger-rmr, fn-mrd RQ-034
Four rows' links redirect to a renamed slug (likely the same product) or to a generic listing (fn-mrd). Confirm each is still the same product, then update the url. Vortex Defender-ST's own url also renamed to https://vortexoptics.com/defender-st.html.
Would settle it: The page each redirect lands on, read and matched to the row
