Independence
How Cancel Atlas makes money
Cancel Atlas is an independent, no-tracker public-interest index. We sell no cancellation service, so we have no stake in any company's grade. This page explains how we're funded and, more importantly, the wall between that money and the scores.
The firewall
Every score is computed only from the published methodology (CES-1.1): five disclosed-policy dimensions, fixed public weights, each cited to the company's own pages. Sponsorship is a separate ledger that touches none of those inputs. A reader can reproduce any score from the cited evidence without knowing anything about who pays us.
The invariant, what money cannot buy
- Sponsorship buys visibility, never ranking or grades. Search and rankings are ordered by merit (the score), never by who paid.
- You cannot pay to improve, remove, or hide a grade, or to take down a "did not pass". Corrections are made only against cited evidence.
- Sponsored placements are always labeled ("Sponsored", "Featured supporter, paid placement") and visually separated from the ranked index.
- If a sponsor is also a graded company, we disclose the relationship on its page and its grade is shown unchanged, never suppressed or inflated.
How we're funded
- Featured supporter / Category sponsorship, clearly-labeled placements.
- Data & API access, bulk/licensed access to the open dataset.
- Monitoring, re-audit cadence for a brand (how often we re-check), which buys frequency, not a better grade.
- Donations, pay-what-you-want support.
Current sponsors: none yet | Cancel Atlas is in its founding phase.
What we don't do
No third-party ad networks, no trackers, no behavioural advertising (it would break our strict content-security policy and our no-tracking promise). No pay-to-rank. No paid removals.
