How the index earns trust.

Operators can submit corrections and inventory. They cannot pay for rank, evidence score, or a “verified” label.

What we include

Pay-to-rank directories, pixel walls, logo grids, and auction-style ad surfaces that were live or credibly reported live during our most recent review. The public index currently favors card-buyable inventory because that is what our managed campaigns can execute reliably.

Evidence score

• 5: live product plus multiple direct buyer outcome reports or independently reproducible public data.
• 4: live product with observable activity or a source-backed operator ledger.
• 3: active checkout and recent third-party market snapshot.
• 2: reportedly open, with thin evidence of buyer activity.
• 1: technically open but no sales or activity in the latest snapshot.

Status labels

Verified live means we fetched the current product directly during this review. Reported live means a dated market snapshot or current operator source says checkout is open. Watch means technically available with little evidence of demand.

Campaign selection

We do not buy every market blindly. A campaign basket excludes dead inventory, category mismatch, crypto-only friction unless approved, fake engagement, policy conflicts, and placements whose current price no longer fits the plan. We favor measurable card inventory and diversify across mechanics.

Measurement

Tracked redirect links record board, timestamp, referrer when provided, and user agent for fraud review. We use board-reported impressions only when the operator exposes a credible measurement method. A click is not a sale and a listing is not an endorsement.

Paid-link policy

Paid destinations use rel="sponsored nofollow". SpotBundle sells placement and campaign operations, not search rankings.

Corrections

Board operators can email tai@sprinterconsulting.com with a URL and supporting evidence. Material corrections are dated in the source ledger.
