Revenue Model
We make money. Transparently. If editorial work has no business model, it eventually gets replaced by something with one. We prefer a model that does not require pretending every trend is revolutionary.
Principles
- Editorial first, monetization second.
- Diversified income so no single partner can bend coverage.
- Clear labeling for all commercial placements.
Current Streams
- Display advertising: policy-compliant, separated from editorial conclusions.
- Newsletter growth: reader channel for recurring analysis and updates.
- Research outputs: paid deep dives built from aggregated market signals.
What We Do Not Sell
- Guaranteed career outcomes.
- Positive coverage as a service.
- Hidden affiliate recommendations dressed as neutral advice.
Commercial Constraints
- No sponsor can approve, delay, or edit independent editorial content.
- Sponsored units are disclosed and separated from ranking systems.
- Correction policy applies equally everywhere.
Roadmap
- Quarterly index report with downloadable benchmark tables.
- Role-level salary and switching-risk packs for subscribers.
- More tooling that improves planning quality, not panic quality.
Short Version
If revenue threatens editorial integrity, we cut the revenue path. Bad money is expensive money.
