Everything published here starts from a document. I read each firm's terms, pricing and payout pages, record what they say in a structured form, and re-check them on a schedule so that a rule changed quietly still shows up in the log.
The reason this site exists is that comparing prop firms on marketing copy is useless. The rules that decide whether you keep an account are published — they are just spread across half a dozen pages per firm and written to be skimmed. Collecting them in one place, with a date on each field, turns an opinion into something you can check.
No firm buys a verdict here. Where one pays for a placement, or provides an account so a product can be documented from the inside, it is disclosed on the page where it matters rather than in a policy nobody reads. Commercial conversations are handled separately from editorial, and no listing agreement moves a score or a position.
