What a creator reports
Revenue, traffic, timelines, conversion, or experience stated by the original creator. Attribution does not mean independent verification or typicality.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY · VERSION 1.0
How a money claim becomes a comparable research record.
We use a consistent framework to extract what a creator says, identify what the claim leaves out, and turn the method into a decision a beginner can test with limited downside.

THE PIPELINE
From source to published guide
Automation helps with scale; a fixed schema and editorial review provide consistency and accountability.
01
Collect
Identify a relevant public video and retain its title, channel, URL, publication context, and transcript-derived source material.
02
Extract
Use newmax.ai to organize the method into repeatable fields instead of preserving only the headline outcome.
03
Evaluate
Check internal consistency, separate claims from inference, surface missing costs, and verify changing facts when they affect a decision.
04
Publish
Edit for a clear answer, comparison, limitations, and a small validation step. Add dates, author responsibility, and relevant source links.
STANDARD FIELDS
What we try to capture
Availability varies by source. A blank field is not silently converted into a fact.
01Audience and buyer
02Offer and promised outcome
03Traffic source
04Acquisition workflow
05Tools and startup cost
06Production pipeline
07Pricing and unit economics
08Time requirements
09Skills and dependencies
10Creator-stated benchmarks
11Risks and failure points
12Smallest useful test
EVIDENCE LABELS
Three kinds of statement
What a primary source supports
Current product terms, platform rules, pricing, or public documentation checked against an authoritative source when material to the decision.
What our analysis concludes
A judgment derived from the available inputs—for example, that a method has high distribution risk. It should be explained, not disguised as a measured fact.
What this process cannot prove
A video rarely provides audited financials, a representative sample, complete expenses, refunds, opportunity cost, or failure rates. Results may be exceptional, outdated, or dependent on an existing audience. The database helps compare claims; it does not validate guaranteed earnings.
What changes after publication
Material factual or editorial changes receive an updated date. Duplicate methods may be consolidated, broken links replaced, and unsupported statements narrowed or removed. Corrections can be sent to Yee on X.
