Riven Trust standardRatings cannot be purchased. Facts, claims and analyst conclusions are labeled separately.
Why we exist
Automated trading products are often marketed through screenshots, selected backtests and broad security claims. Our job is to make the product, company and evidence easier to inspect.
We do not forecast returns. We assess product quality, transparency, trust signals and risk using one published framework.
What independence means
Ratings cannot be purchased. Commercial relationships, if present, do not change Expert Scores, Trust Scores or analyst conclusions. Sponsored placements must be visually labeled and remain separate from ratings.
How products enter the dataset
We select products with a distinct automation offering and enough public evidence to support a useful profile. Inclusion is not an endorsement, and we do not create thin profiles merely to increase coverage.
How research changes
Profiles show their review date, source set, evidence confidence and changelog. New documentation, product changes, incidents or correction evidence can change conclusions and scores; a site build alone is not a research update.
Who runs the research
The Riven Trust Research Desk is an organizational byline for the team accountable for source review, structured analysis and corrections. We do not invent individual credentials when named contributor information is unavailable.
