Research Coverage

This dashboard distinguishes provider editorial metadata coverage from public research resources and explains how research status is defined.

What these figures cover

Provider figures reflect current editorial metadata records, including research-in-progress entries. They are not a count of public provider profiles. Provider percentages use those metadata entries as their denominator.

Comparison and industry research coverage is not currently represented by a verified live count. Other content types are linked below without coverage totals. No sitewide research-coverage percentage is reported.

Research Status Definitions

Comprehensively Reviewed

Reviewed against the full public-research framework with no material open fields currently shown. Comparison-ready. Included in Fit Check and Calculator where applicable.

Basic Profile

Limited public-research profile. Core information reviewed. Pricing details, FAQs, and comparison pages are still being expanded from public sources.

Research in Progress

Provider exists in ProcessorFit. Basic company identity confirmed. Editorial research is underway. No unsupported claims or inferred pricing.

How Research Works

Only public sources

ProcessorFit only includes information that can be verified from a provider's official public documentation — pricing pages, terms of service, product pages, and acceptable use policies. We do not call provider sales teams or accept promotional materials as data.

Conservative by design

When pricing or contract terms cannot be verified from public sources, fields are marked as 'Needs verification.' ProcessorFit never infers, estimates, or interpolates pricing data.

Regular review cycles

Fully-reviewed providers are scheduled for re-review every six months. Basic profiles are reviewed quarterly. The review date is shown on every provider profile.

No promotional content

No provider pays for placement, profile completeness, or research priority. Research queue order is determined by expected merchant research volume.
