Pricing

Two paid offers for owners who already looked at the directory and still have to pick. The public grades stay free. Paying does not change them.

AI Stack Review

What to pilot this month.
What to ignore.
Red flags, including Unknown scores we will not paper over.

Intake

We ask the same questions for both offers. Answer only what you know. “Not sure” is a valid budget answer. Do not send passwords, customer lists, or contracts through this form.

This form does not submit anywhere yet. Fill it so you know what we will ask. Payment still goes through a Stripe Payment Link once those TODOs are replaced.

Disclosure and integrity

Paid work never changes a public grade. A Stack Review or a report cannot buy, raise, delay, or remove a Buy, Hold, or Hype.
Vendors may send corrections with sources. A payment is not a correction.
We do not run affiliate links today. If we add one, that page will say so, and the link will not change the score.
Sponsors, if we ever take them, will be labeled and will not see ratings before publication.
Grades are not investment advice. Unknown means we did not find a public figure, not that the figure is zero.

The rules also live in the methodology.
