Why trust us · five promises to you
Not a cent from those we measure. Every number has a source.
These five are not slogans; they are rules written into the code: the ranking function has no commission field, and the publishing pipeline has a banned-word gate that blocks anything it catches. Every price and every conclusion you see can be opened and checked yourself.
- No commercial variable ever enters a rankingWhether a vendor works with us has zero effect on how it is ranked or shown. Any promoted placement is clearly labelled "Ad" per the Internet Advertising Measures.
- No paid certificationCommissioned tests charge an execution fee only and are never branded "independent certification". The "consistent" or "differs" you see cannot be bought.
- Not a cent from those we measureAds, sponsorship and affiliate fees never enter a measurement page. Today the whole site has zero affiliate links, zero ads, zero sponsors.
- Revenue sources published quarterlyRevenue composition is published every quarter; the corrections log and methodology versions stay public forever, so every change is visible.
- Evidence first, conclusions secondAny number on a page traces back to a raw fetch snapshot; if it cannot, it is not shown. This is a hard constraint at the database layer, not good intentions.
How we phrase things
We write like this
- "This endpoint's output distribution is statistically inconsistent with the reference endpoint (confidence 92%, n=1,240, 2026-08 window)"
- "This channel's effective price for the model is 7.5% of the lowest public channel price, mathematically unsustainable with no subsidy assumed"
- "This measurement failed to reproduce last month's conclusion; cause under investigation"
We never write like this
- "busted", "fake model", "wrapper", "scam", "dumbed down"
- Any quality conclusion without sample size and time window
- Any form of "recommended list". We give fact sheets; the judgement stays with you
Every quality conclusion must carry sample size, time window and confidence; missing any one, the pipeline blocks it. Before naming a vendor we give 72 hours' notice and an appeal window, and the same conclusion must reproduce in two independent time windows.
