How it works
Methodology
Discover reports
Search Google Web, Google Scholar, OpenAlex, and SEC EDGAR for each tracked provider across crypto research and institutional publishers.
Clean and classify
Deduplicate by source ID, DOI, canonical URL, and title. AI checks the document's primary crypto or finance scope and provider-specific name collisions.
Verify the evidence
Fetch the public HTML, text, or PDF and check provider domains, source statements, references, and contextual mentions. Public alternate copies are tried when available.
Document evidence confirmed
An in-scope, readable third-party document explicitly attributes data, metrics, research, or analysis to the provider.
Strong metadata, document unavailable
The document is substantively about crypto or finance with no concrete name collision, but its provider citation could not be fully confirmed.
Dashboard totals combine both categories, while the verified share shows how much is confirmed directly from readable documents. Provider-owned publications, incidental crypto mentions, unrelated subjects, and name collisions are excluded.
