How we verify figures

By Ade Molajo · Updated · How we check figures

Quick answer

Every programme figure on these pages (ranges, minimums, terms, timing) comes from the programme's own website, never a press summary or an AI answer. We log each one with the date we checked it and the page it came from, publish it with that source, and recheck it. When a programme changes a figure, we update every page that uses it and record the change in our updates log. Programmes may pay us referral fees, which is why we show our sources.

01The process

How figures are checked: read on the programme’s own site, logged with the date, published with the source, and rechecked, with every change recorded in the updates log.01Programme’sown siteNever a presssummary or an AIanswer02Logged withthe dateFigure, wording andsource URL03Published withsourceAttributed, dated,not guaranteed04RecheckedChanges go in theupdates log
Every figure on these pages goes through the same four steps.
  1. From the programme's own site. Every programme figure (ranges, minimums, terms, timing) comes from the programme's own pages: partnership pages, referral pages, FAQs, and Mercor's public listings. Not a press article, a forum post, a competitor's summary, or an AI answer. Facts about a company itself, such as a funding round, come from named reporting, and we say "reported" and link it.
  2. Logged with the date. Each figure goes into our facts log with its exact wording, the page it came from, and the day we checked it.
  3. Published with its source. On the page, every figure is attributed to the programme and dated, and the sources are listed at the bottom.
  4. Checked before it goes live. An automated check blocks any page from publishing if a money figure for a programme isn't in the facts log, or matches a figure the programme no longer publishes.
  5. Rechecked. When a programme changes its pages, we update every page that uses the figure and add a line to the updates log.

02What we never do

  • Invent an estimate. We show published ranges and dated calculator readings, never our own guess at your figure.
  • Promise an amount. Published ranges aren't offers. The programme decides.
  • Name data brokers or use a programme's logo.
  • Quote a figure without its date and source.
  • Rank the programmes. We may be paid by more than one.

03When programmes disagree with themselves

Sometimes a programme's own pages say different things. micro1's headline figures, for example, have differed from its published tiers. When that happens we quote the most specific figure (usually the tiers or terms), say which page it's from, and ask the programme which is current.

04How we're paid

TrackImpact is an independent referral service. If a company we introduce is accepted, the programme may pay us a referral fee. The fee is paid by the programme, separately, and never comes out of the company's payout. We never see or handle a company's data. That's why we publish our sources: so you can check every figure without trusting us.

05Who writes these pages

The pages are written and checked by Ade Molajo. Spotted an out-of-date figure? Email contact@trackimpact.io and we'll check it against the programme's own site.

06Questions people ask

Where do your figures come from?

Programme figures come from each programme's own website: its partnership pages, referral pages, FAQs and, for Mercor, its public listings. Facts about a company, like funding, come from named reporting and are labelled as reported. We never use AI answers as a source.

How often do you check?

Whenever we publish or update a page, and when a programme's pages change. Every figure shows the date we last checked it.

Are you paid by the programmes?

Programmes may pay TrackImpact a referral fee if a company we introduce is accepted. It never comes out of the company's payout, and it's disclosed on every page.

Do you rank the programmes?

No. Because we may be paid by more than one, we compare published terms side by side and leave the choice to you.
