It used to publish the `model` values but found that so few repair events collected `model` values and the scant values that did turn up were not very useful. The data is compiled and published on a shoestring budget, so resources are very limited.

The purpose of the data has evolved over years as a response to and a source for various investigations and campaigns that feed into the European Right To Repair campaign. It is also used by individual repair groups and networks to demonstrate their work and achievements - both environmental and social - in order to garner support and funding. The main use of the dataset is as an overview of a glimpse of community repair activity worldwide.
