How IT9X researches

A platform is more than a signup page.

We separate research from publication, prefer official documentation and leave unsupported fields unknown. That means fewer listings—but more useful context when deciding where to spend your time.

Read our approach
  1. 01
    Trace the source

    Official terms, help centers and payment documentation come first.

  2. 02
    Keep limitations visible

    Country, qualification and payout differences are not flattened into global claims.

  3. 03
    Publish deliberately

    Drafts and incomplete candidates stay outside public routes and the sitemap.
