How the research works

The database behind every page here.

Every program page you read is assembled the same way, from sources you can check. This is what happens between a program existing somewhere on the web and it appearing here with a date on it.

How a program gets onto this site

  1. Find

    Systems scan the open web for programs, funds and the pages they publish about themselves.

  2. Structure

    Every program is described with the same fields, so two programs can actually be compared.

  3. Review

    Automated checks plus human review. The sources and the reviewed date are what make the stamp.

  4. Re-check

    Rolling, not one-off. When something changes it shows under “what changed here”, never silently.

What gets weighed, and what never happens

What gets weighed

  • Official sources first
  • Corroboration across independent pages
  • Recency of the last change
  • Signals that a program is actually active

What never happens

  • Invent a missing fact
  • Take payment for placement
  • Claim affiliation that does not exist
  • Publish what members are doing

Where this data goes

One research system feeds the whole family: Superscout for scouting, and Internships.vc for salaried roles. A correction made once is fixed everywhere it appears.
