How to quote us fairly

• Give the date. Revenue moves every week. "As of Oct 28, 2026" keeps your piece accurate.
• Say "stale" when we do. 5 businesses stopped sharing fresh payment data more than 30 days ago. They are not ranked; we list their last figure separately, with the date it stopped.
• Keep reported numbers separate. Big-company figures (OpenAI, Anthropic and others) come from press reports, not payment data. We label them "Reported, not verified" and never mix them into the rankings.
• It's not a random sample. We picked established businesses worth studying, mostly over $10,000 a month. The median is not what a typical AI startup makes.

Full method: how we verify. Rows: leaderboard. Monthly analysis: AI revenue report, October 2026.
