Editorial policy

How this site handles evidence, updates and mistakes

Sources

Fees and platform rules come from the platforms’ official pages, which are linked from every page that uses them.

Facts, statements and interpretation

I distinguish public information, statements from founders, calculations and my own interpretation. A campaign reaching its goal does not establish that the product shipped or made a profit. Recommendations on this site are attributed to their authors; they are not an independent audit of campaign results.

Examples

Example figures that don’t come from a real campaign are labelled as examples.

Tools

Every calculator shows its formula, assumptions and limits. A “last checked” date is updated only after the sources have actually been reviewed again.

Corrections

Found a mistake? Message Arthur on LinkedIn. Corrections that change a conclusion are noted on the page.
