How we decide what gets published

Every number on Franopolis passes through the same steps before anyone outside the team can see it.

The steps

1. Extract. Figures are read from the source with the exact quoted wording and page.
2. Check. An automated pass confirms the quote really appears on the cited page.
3. Review. A person reviews the figure and its context, then verifies or rejects it.
4. Publish. Only verified figures appear on public brand reports.

What we won't publish

Projections, recommendations, rankings presented as advice, or figures we can't trace to a source.

Paid placements

If a placement is ever paid, it will be labeled as paid wherever it appears. Paid status never changes the data.
