What binds this record

  1. 1

    Every figure shows its working.

    A money figure carries its as-of date and a link to the source it came from. Where a figure is a published estimate rather than one computed from a filing, it is marked estimate beside the number — on the list and on the profile, not only in the methodology. Nothing here is a figure we worked out ourselves.

  2. 2

    Nothing is published unsourced.

    Every published claim carries at least one citation, with the supporting quote stored so the record survives the link dying. Where a claim rests only on an aggregated source rather than a filing or reported journalism, the page says so on its face.

  3. 4

    Right of reply.

    Anyone recorded here may contest a claim. Contested claims are marked disputed on the page rather than quietly removed, and every correction is published and dated.

Every list ships with its inclusion criteria, its sources, and its cut-offs, published before the list is compiled. How this is compiled.
