How FundedChecker works

Methodology

Official rules first. Independent evidence second. Aggregators are used for discovery and cross-checking, never as the sole authority.

1. Official rules

Help centers, terms, program pages and payout rules control objective program facts whenever available.

2. Evidence cross-check

Trader reports, press coverage and independent directories are used to validate context, complaints and operating maturity.

3. Separate confidence

Directory coverage is not presented as deep rule verification. Missing fields remain missing rather than being guessed.

Data Confidence Score

Formula: 30% operating history + 25% review depth + 20% sample-adjusted external rating + 15% cross-source confirmation + 10% audit-document coverage.

The score measures evidence depth and maturity. It is not a best-firm verdict, payout guarantee, or recommendation to purchase.

FC Payout Evidence Score

Separate evidence layer: up to 25 points for recent verified payout activity, 20 for length of tracked payout history, 20 for verified volume, 15 for payout count, 10 for median payout depth and 10 for continuity versus the recent baseline.

This score measures the strength and continuity of blockchain-verified payout evidence only. It does not measure payout approval rate, solvency, overall trustworthiness, trader treatment or future payout probability. A company can show strong payout activity while still having strict rules, complaints or other risk signals.
