A little context for the commotion.

Start with a published report. Each includes its period, official source, definitions and aggregate download. Link to the report and original source when discussing a finding, and preserve the caveats alongside the chart.

We are exploring small aggregate briefs: one place, one issue, comparable periods and chart-ready numbers. A useful pilot starts with the question you need answered and the decision it would help you make. Scope, available data and price are agreed before work begins.

Official data remains public at its source. The work is in making it consistent and understandable. StinkClub submissions are self-selected Complaints, not a representative survey, and are always shown separately from official records.

A sponsor can support a report through a clearly labeled advertisement. This is an early project: any proposal will use the audience we can actually measure, with no promised reach or results. We agree on the placement and period before accepting payment.

• Support buys a placement, never a conclusion, a ranking or a moderation decision.
• We keep a report's subjects and their direct competitors out of its sponsorship.
• Placements carry an advertisement label and no third-party tracking pixels.
• Complainers' identities, browser tokens and words are never part of the offer.

Tell us your audience, the place or issue you care about, and what would make the work useful. Corrections to a report are welcome here too. Please leave private Complaint details out of your message.
