Daniel Haket, editor and researcher, daniel@aibuildermarketplace.com. He designs the studies, runs or supervises every measurement and answers questions about method and data. About Daniel.
Each package holds the manifest (population, period, definitions, counts), the analysis input and output, checksums and a citation for that edition.
Cite the edition, so a reader lands on the numbers you quoted even after a newer edition appears. Each study card has a copy button; the form is:
CC BY 4.0: you may republish and adapt with attribution and a note of what you changed. Our own data, analysis, tables and charts. Quoted vendor text and screenshots of vendor pages remain the vendor's; we reproduce them as evidence.
Write to the address above with the study, the edition and the claim. We check it against the evidence; if we were wrong, the study gets a dated correction note and the previous version stays available from its editions table. Vendors are welcome to correct facts about their own product, with a source; they do not see studies before publication and have no say over conclusions.
The research is self-funded from affiliate commissions on some of the tools we cover. Each study states which of its subjects pay us, whether we used free plans or trials, and any contest or campaign the page is entered in. Partners and non-partners are counted by the same rules.

AIBuilder Marketplace earns affiliate commissions on some tools it covers. Every study names its commercial relationships; partners and non-partners are counted by the same rules, and per the manifesto we may earn from tools our research criticises — it never changes the numbers.
