Transparency

Methodology

How we collect, verify, and present brand intelligence. Our process is designed for accuracy, fairness, and independence.

Our Process

01Data Collection

We gather information from public corporate registries, government databases, industry certifications, and brand-published materials. No brand can pay for inclusion or influence their profile.

02Multi-Source Verification

Each data point is cross-referenced against at least two independent sources. Ownership is traced through corporate registries. Manufacturing claims are verified through licensing records and, where possible, on-site checks.

03Transparency Scoring

Brands receive a score from 0–100 based on the completeness and verifiability of disclosed information. The score weights ownership clarity (30%), manufacturing transparency (30%), public disclosure depth (25%), and evidence quality (15%).

04Brand Response

Before publication, brands are notified and given 14 days to review their profile and submit corrections with supporting evidence. Corrections are re-verified before updating.

Verification Statuses
