How we check what we print.

Every income number carries a label

Each builder breakdown shows one of three labels next to the revenue figure:

• Verified. We reviewed proof directly, such as a Stripe, Gumroad, or bank dashboard shared on a call or by screen recording. We note what we saw.
• Reported. The number comes from a public source (an interview, a public revenue dashboard, a filing). We link to it.
• Self-reported. The builder told us, and we couldn't independently check it. We say so plainly.

We state whether a figure is revenue or profit, and over what period. We don't print “up to” numbers or best-month screenshots as if they were typical.

Every news item is sourced

Every news item links to its primary source: the company announcement, the paper, the filing, or the reporter who broke it. If we can't source it, we don't run it.

Ads are always labeled

Sponsored placements are marked “Sponsored” or “Together with”. Affiliate links are disclosed. Sponsors never see or approve editorial content, and paying us doesn't buy coverage in a breakdown or guide.

No guarantees, ever

One person's results are not a prediction of yours. Most side projects earn little or nothing, and we'll say that too. Nothing we publish is financial, legal, or tax advice.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the correction at the bottom of the page. Spot an error? Email newsletter@aimoneybrief.com.
