For companies
Organizational sponsors
Larger sponsorships fund deeper coverage. We disclose the relationship separately from commissioned research and consulting.
Sponsor recognition

- Periodic project progress briefings
- Organizational supporter Discord role, if useful
- A dedicated administrative contact for sponsorship logistics
Sponsor disclosure
We publish sponsor disclosures when the organization agrees to public recognition. Each disclosure can name the relationship type and any relevant evaluated-vendor relationship when that information is tracked and appropriate to publish.
Individual supporter names appear only when the supporter opts into public recognition.
