The archived footer asserting 2005 is corroboration, not a contradiction
AppWT was publishing the 2005 trade-name date as far back as 2013, which is 13 years before any current dispute. A claim made contemporaneously is far stronger than the same claim made today.

It was recorded as an unexplained contradiction because nothing said what 1994 measured. It marks the self-taught beginning. Each milestone measures a different thing, and with this one the last unexplained start year is closed.

Six third-party pages report the entity date, and they are correct
These were logged as the strongest argument against 1997. They are not an argument against anything. APPWT LLC was incorporated 2020-02-13, so a directory printing 2020 is reporting the Organization accurately. The defect was never their number, it was that 1997 sat beside it with nothing saying it measured the practice.
