Dated change record
Update history
Material changes remain visible so a current verdict can be traced to the exact models, measurements, listings, review channels, evidence state, site architecture, and commercial controls that existed when it was published.
27 August 2026: Amazon marketplace-corpus integration
- Mined every MeoWant litter-box listing found on amazon.com into a private 373-record research corpus across eight ASINs, then published dated themes from it without republishing owner text.
- Added a dated marketplace signal to SC01 owner feedback: gear or motor failure after months, seam leaks, and litter scatter, anchored to the listing average of 4.1 across 2,459 ratings.
- Added a family-aggregated SC02 marketplace signal covering rake and drum jams, odor after a failure, and support or refund friction, anchored to 4.0 across 1,352 ratings and 3.9 across 433 ratings.
- Added a dated SC03-family marketplace paragraph covering rake and gear breakage, litter tracking, and a noise caution concentrated on ASIN B0FL6WQYHX, anchored to 3.8, 3.6, and 4.1 listing averages.
- Recorded that noise never appears as a negative theme in the SC09 sample, framed as sample age rather than proven reliability superiority, and marked ASIN B0H1R27F9C too young to characterise.
- Extended the customer-service and problems pages with the dated SC02 support-friction and SC02/SC03 rake-jam signals.
- Added three marketplace source records to the ledger: ASIN B0DWX9CDGB on SC02, and ASINs B0FL6WQYHX and B0FKFWGKV9 on the SC03 research-gap record.
- Every sentence carries its sample size, its check date, and the caveat that the sample was deliberately stratified by star filter, so no population failure rate, prevalence, or longevity claim is published.
- Published the corpus and thematic analysis at
docs/research-data/amazon-reviews/.
26 July 2026: size and source correction
- Removed the shortcut that treated SC09 as universally bigger than SC10 or the default large-cat winner.
- Published a comparable size guide separating exterior length, width, depth, open-bed geometry, enclosed-cabin volume, headroom, entry height, and waste storage.
- Recorded SC10 as the longer current model with a manufacturer-stated 500 mm bed, unlimited headroom, and an 11.9 L drawer.
- Recorded SC09 as the wider, deeper, lower-entry enclosed cabin with a 106 L seller claim and 6.7 L bin.
- Explained that SC09’s 106 L enclosed cabin and SC10’s 72 L open litter area do not share one measurement boundary.
- Split the large-cat recommendation by body shape, posture, mobility, entry needs, enclosure preference, and return economics.
- Published a public review-source census covering exact TikTok Shop listings, variants, Shop, Chewy, official-hosted review tabs, Trustpilot, AIR PET App Store ratings, owner communities, editorials, videos, social creators, and household evidence.
- Added listing-family and overlap-risk metadata so duplicate, imported, and variant review counts are not added into a fabricated unique-owner total.
- Added AIR PET as a separate review target using its 2.8/5 Apple App Store snapshot across 252 ratings and its versioned profile-limit contradiction.
- Published the correction research artifact at
docs/MEOWANT_PUBLIC_REVIEW_CENSUS_AND_SIZE_CORRECTION_2026-07-26.md.
26 July 2026: brand-wide review architecture
- Reframed the entire site from an SC10-centered household test desk into a brand-wide, model-by-model MeoWant review intelligence system.
- Published a review hub covering SC01, SC02, SC03, SC09, and SC10 as first-class entities with separate evidence depth.
- Added dated TikTok Shop, Chewy, Shop, and Trustpilot review snapshots without blending channel ratings into one score.
- Added owner praise, recurring failure mechanisms, product improvement requests, buyer fit, avoid conditions, and the most interesting finding for every model.
- Expanded SC03 from an identity-gap placeholder into a comprehensive early-evidence review while preserving its no-purchase-recommendation gate.
- Reframed SC10 as a hybrid model review combining a small external owner sample with the 28-day household record.
- Published cross-model traffic resources for problems, AIR PET app behavior, customer service and returns, cleaning burden, litter compatibility, buyer fit, and four high-intent model comparisons.
- Rebuilt the homepage around all five current models rather than the owner's SC10 experience.
- Added the initial research synthesis at
docs/MEOWANT_REVIEW_INTELLIGENCE_2026-07-26.md.
24 July 2026
- Published the complete current MeoWant automatic-litter-box guide covering SC01, SC02, SC03, SC09, and SC10.
- Added dated official specification and price snapshots, including the unresolved SC02 official-page discrepancy.
- Introduced exact-model TikTok Shop and Amazon routing so one model's review cannot resolve to another model's product destination.
- Kept SC03 merchant actions disabled while its independent evidence remained below the publication gate.
- Added FAQ, item-list, breadcrumb, sitemap, automated type/test/build checks, and an affiliate deployment runbook.
18 July 2026
Expanded the public information architecture across models, reviews, comparisons, problems, research, and decision tools. Published source-qualified SC01, SC02, and SC09 reviews plus the initial SC03 research-gap record.
17 July 2026
Published the initial SC10 household evidence record and verified five MeoWant automatic-litter-box model identities.
