Independence policy

Rankings can't be bought.

Public indexes use the same prompts and the same scoring for every brand, and nobody edits results by hand.

Our policy

  • Measurement and execution are separate jobs. Public indexes are scored the same way for every brand, client or not.
  • No one can pay to appear in, rise in or be removed from a public index.
  • Done-for-you is delivered by our sister execution team, CiteWorks Studio. Both are part of 3D Chess Media LLC.
  • Methodology changes are announced before they apply.
