How we're funded
Proxy Index is independent and self-funded. No provider advertises, sponsors, or pays for placement, and we run no affiliate links. We buy the plans we test on the open market, like any other buyer, and take no gifts of credit or access from providers.
Editorial independence
No provider receives advance access to a benchmark issue or to its own score before publication. Any correction made after an issue goes out is handled in the open, with the change noted.
What we don't do
Provider reviews are published only inside the benchmark framework, scored against the same public methodology as every other line — there are no standalone endorsements or "best of" lists. No sponsored placements, no affiliate links, no referral program.
