Trust policy

Our one rule

Money buys speed and labeled visibility — never a ranking position, and never our silence about competitors.

What that means in practice

We publish evidence and show uncertainty

Every published claim links to its source and the date it was checked. Research and moderation can still be wrong or go stale, so unconfirmed values show as “?” and every page offers a way to challenge the data.

People check the facts

Anyone can propose a change with a source, and it stays off the page until a moderator has read that source. Software can suggest a fact; only a human publishes it.

Vendors get a voice, not a veto

They can correct their own page and answer criticism in public. They cannot remove, reorder, or hide a competitor.

Sponsorship is always obvious

One labeled slot per page, sold only where there's real traffic, and it never touches the ranked list beneath it.

Catalog changes stay visible

Catalog edits and moderation decisions are written to the public data history linked from each app's page.

Paying buys speed, not approval

A fast-track review is looked at sooner by the same people, held to the same bar. Rejected fast-tracks are refunded in full.
