Sources, methodology & credits
The site distinguishes four evidence modes: live structured data, dated human-verified snapshots, transparent derived calculations and labelled editorial/fun indices. A score is never presented as though it were a raw fact.
Structured and primary sources
- Launch Library by The Space Devs for launch records and status counts.
- NASA programme pages, contract releases and mission material.
- U.S. Government Accountability Office decisions for procurement protests.
- SpaceX, Blue Origin, Amazon, Tesla and other company publications for first-party specifications and announcements.
- Regulatory filings and court documents where available for legal or financial claims.
Wealth estimates
Wealth snapshots are estimates, not audited balances. Each value must retain its publisher and as-of date, and should be updated as a pair so the comparison is not distorted by different observation times.
News index
The PHP news endpoint queries a Google News RSS index, preserves the named publisher, removes obvious duplicates and stores short metadata for fifteen minutes. It does not reproduce article bodies. Inclusion is not endorsement. Decisive factual claims should be checked against the original report and, where possible, a primary source.
Editorial indices
Qualitative indicators display their rubric, score input and confidence. Readers can challenge individual metrics and category weights without silently changing the published model. Public opinion is always shown as a separate layer.
Photography
Hero portraits use Wikimedia Commons redirect URLs. Confirm the current file author, licence and attribution requirements before final public launch. Remote editorial imagery must likewise be checked against its provider’s terms.
