Editorial policy

Sourcing, indexes, corrections and disclosure.

Sourcing

Prices and figures are taken from public price lists, official documentation, filings or named datasets, and are linked at the bottom of each article with the date we checked them. We do not print numbers we cannot source.

Indexes

Recurring indexes state their composition, collection method and recalculation schedule. Historical values are never edited retroactively; corrections are appended.

Estimates

Where a real range exists (for example, app stacks that vary by store), we publish the range and the assumptions, not a single invented number.

Corrections

Errors are corrected in the article with a dated note. Request a correction at desk@commercequarterly.com.

Affiliate and referral links

Some links may earn the publication a commission. Commissions never decide what we cover or how products rank; rankings follow the published numbers.
