How Scannabis keeps Montana market data useful

Cannabis menu data is messy. Scannabis tracks, normalizes, refreshes, and reviews it so operators can use it for real pricing, buying, brand, and expansion decisions. Here’s how much of the Montana market we track, how current it is, and how we keep it accurate — these numbers are live.

We refresh every menu we track nightly. A store we couldn’t reach on a given night keeps serving its most recent scrape — and its page shows a “Refreshing this store” note — so you always know how current a store is rather than seeing a blank.

How we keep it accurate

• Nightly refresh. Every menu is re-read each night, normalized to consistent categories, sizes, and a pre-tax price basis so comparisons are apples-to-apples.
• Automated anomaly detection. Each rebuild is scanned for price outliers, mis-categorized products, and suspicious brand strings before the data is published.
• Customer flagging. Anything that looks wrong can be reported in one tap from any product or store page — it lands in our review queue directly.
• Human review on every change. Corrections are reviewed and applied as reversible overrides — nothing silently rewrites your data.
