How to read this. Entries come from public reporting and agency statements, as of 2 November 2026. The list is not exhaustive and statuses may have changed. "Claimed" is what the agency or vendor says. "Evidence seen" is what we found beyond that claim. Where we found nothing, we say so. To suggest a correction or addition, see the corrections policy.
