How we split this
The first channel named for how the business gets customers. From the TrustMRR listing text (labelled Verified listing) or a dated founder statement (labelled Self-reported). Revenue is payment-verified; the channel is what the founder or listing says, not proof the channel caused the revenue. Most businesses do not name one. MRR is read from Stripe, RevenueCat or Superwall via TrustMRR and only ranked if synced in the last 30 days. Full method.
