Our independence
Funded by buyers via subscriptions. We do not accept funding from the businesses we research, we do not use affiliate links, and we do not take compensation for access.
Methodology
- Maintain open list of companies/products with community priority voting
- Reach out for facility access with minimal advance detail; NDAs when required
- Assess percent-made-in-USA by multiple metrics and note verification level
- Map supply chains to materials where possible; record visit date and scope
- Publish what we are allowed to share and what remains unverified
