1. Mission
itrillion.com exists to make trillion-scale finance comprehensible to non-experts. Accuracy and honesty about uncertainty are the whole product.
2. Sourcing
- Market capitalizations are compiled from public sources (exchange data via reputable financial data providers, company filings, and established financial press).
- Milestone dates refer to the first trading day a company closed above $1 trillion, as reported by major financial publications.
- Historical and mathematical claims (visualization math, country GDP figures) are computed from published figures and shown with their inputs.
3. Labeling approximate data
- Every market figure is labeled "approx." with its as-of date.
- We never present figures as live, real-time, or current quotes.
- Each data page states its methodology and update cadence.
- We do not round in ways that change a claim's meaning, and we never fabricate precision we don't have.
4. Education, not advice
- We publish no buy/sell/hold recommendations, price targets, or predictions.
- Analysis pieces (e.g., the trillion-dollar playbook) describe historical patterns; they are not investment theses.
- Financial-education disclaimers appear on the tracker, trillionaire, and blog pages.
5. Independence
- Affiliate and advertising relationships never influence tracker data, rankings, or editorial content.
- Partners cannot pay for coverage or placement. See our affiliate disclosure.
6. Corrections policy
- Report: email hello@itrillion.com with the page, the claimed error, and a source.
- Fix: verified factual errors are corrected promptly — typically within 48 hours for data pages.
- Transparency: significant corrections (wrong figures, wrong dates) are noted on the page with the correction date. Minor corrections (typos, formatting) are fixed silently.
- Disputes: if a figure is legitimately disputed across sources, we note the dispute and cite both.
7. AI and automation
Content is researched and written by humans. Automated tooling may assist with data compilation, but every published figure passes human review before it appears.
8. Accountability
These standards are public so readers can hold us to them. If we fall short, tell us — that's what the corrections address is for.
