Procedure

  1. A source for every figure. A figure is recorded only together with the name of its source. A number without a source is not published.
  2. Open sources. For open data we give a link to the page where it can be checked.
  3. Marketplace exports. Marketplace data is given with its export date: prices and availability change.
  4. Numbers in text. Report text never contains hand-typed numbers: they are inserted from figures together with their sources.
  5. Recommendations. The section on what to buy contains only items from this site's marketplace.

Source types
