Source collection
Official and relevant public pages are acquired, content-addressed, and retained with source URLs. Malformed or insufficient extraction is rejected rather than filled with guesses.
OUR METHODOLOGY
How NeoBankDude sources, enriches, reviews, scores, refreshes, and corrects money-app data.
Typed enrichment
Structured fields are normalized into typed records. Each fact retains confidence and enrichment provenance.
Human gate
Fees, protection, licensing, leverage, promotions, and other money-critical fields cannot clear publication while required review remains unresolved.
Recrawl and correction
Current policy defaults featured apps to weekly review and long-tail apps to quarterly review. Changed content is diffed for editorial attention; error reports can trigger corrections.
AWARD MATH
0.55 × editorial + 0.25 × trust + 0.10 × normalized popularity + 0.10 × recency
Categories require at least three active, human-approved apps with editorial scores. Popularity is min–max normalized inside the category. Recency is 100 through 90 days and decays linearly to zero at 365 days. Ties resolve by trust, then verification recency, then stable slug order.

Does AI publish financial facts automatically?
No. AI can draft and normalize fields, but required money-critical facts remain blocked until human approval.
How often is information reviewed?
The current recrawl policy defaults boosted listings to weekly and long-tail apps to quarterly, with explicit per-app overrides.
How are award scores calculated?
Awards use 55% editorial quality, 25% source trust, 10% normalized popularity, and 10% verification recency, with a three-app eligibility gate.
Can affiliate revenue change rankings?
No. Affiliate relationships are disclosed and excluded from editorial and award formulas.
