Written down before there is any money attached to bending it.
Nothing is running yet. At the time of writing, AI Sector Watch has no affiliate relationships and earns no commission from anyone. This page describes the rules we have committed to in advance, so that they are written down before there is any money attached to bending them. If that changes, this page changes first.
Coverage is never for sale. We do not accept payment to include, rank, score, or write favourably about any company, stock, sector, ETF, or fund. No company can pay to appear on the Leadership Board, to be added to a sector, to be covered in a report, or to have its score changed. There are no sponsored companies and no paid inclusion anywhere in the data. A company appears because it fits a definition we published, and it scores what the method produces.
What we may earn from. We may earn a commission when a reader opens an account with a broker through a link on this site. That is a relationship with the broker, not with any security the broker offers, and it is the only form of commercial relationship we will enter into. It has no effect on what we cover, what we score, or how anything is ranked — those are produced by the same method whether or not anyone ever clicks a link.
Every paid link says so, next to itself. A paid link carries its disclosure immediately beside it, always visible — not in a tooltip, not behind an expander, and not only in the footer. It is also marked rel="sponsored" so the fact is machine-readable. A disclosure you have to go looking for is not a disclosure.
Where paid placements may appear. Only in clearly labelled blocks that do not look like editorial. Never inside a data table, never on the Leadership Board, never within the body of a report, and never beside an individual stock. A paid message next to a specific security reads as a recommendation of that security however it is labelled, so we do not put one there.
Subscriptions are the main business. AI Sector Watch is funded primarily by paid subscriptions. That is deliberate: a publication paid by its readers answers to its readers. Any commission income is secondary and is not permitted to influence editorial decisions.
Not advice, and not a recommendation. Nothing on this site is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice, and a link to a broker is not a recommendation to use that broker or to invest at all. Brokers differ in fees, protections, and available markets. Do your own research and consider speaking to a licensed professional. See our Disclaimer for the full statement.
