Market Vehicle Capabilities
Learn how AutoCore separates canonical vehicle categories from edition and listing-creation capability.
AutoCore separates the vehicle taxonomy from the categories that an installation may currently create and publish. This prevents future category structures from being mistaken for commercial support.
Current source-backed scope
The canonical primary category set contains automobile, suv_offroad_pickup,
motorcycle_ebike, minivan_panelvan, and commercial_vehicle. The current
listing-enabled set accepts new listings for automobile and
suv_offroad_pickup. The other categories remain modeled or discoverable
capability surfaces and require explicit activation evidence before being
described as enabled listing scope.
Electric vehicles are a propulsion filter across categories, not a primary category. Legacy enum keys remain for compatibility and alias resolution; new public DTOs use canonical keys.
Capability layers
| Layer | Question |
|---|---|
| Taxonomy | Does the platform know the category, brand, model, or attribute? |
| Discovery | Can an edition expose a safe browse projection for it? |
| Listing creation | Can a user create a new listing in the category? |
| Public visibility | Can active, valid records appear in public search? |
| Commercial readiness | Has the market, legal, moderation, and operational boundary been reviewed? |
The answer can differ by layer. A future category must not be documented as active solely because its enum value exists.
