Editorial policy

Sources

We link the source for every figure we publish. Funding, valuation and shipment numbers often differ between outlets; we use the most widely reported figure and say so when sources conflict.

Translation and AI assistance

Chinese-language headlines are machine-translated into English and shown with the original. Software helps collect, group and draft; people review the weekly digest and ranking changes before publication.

Rankings are evidence-based

Scores follow the published methodology. Companies cannot pay to change a score.

Images

Robot photos come from Wikimedia Commons under free licenses and are credited on each page. Company logos are shown only to identify the company.

Corrections

If a fact is wrong, we fix it and record the change in the methodology changelog.
