FundedHub separates official-source evidence, inferred values, user reports, internal scoring and commercial relationships. A value is not verified merely because it appears in the database or was extracted by AI.
Methodology version EVIDENCE_FIRST_V1 · updated 12 August 2026
Source records and review details are available for some entries; coverage varies by rule and firm.
How we use different types of sources.
01
Official primary source
The firm's own current website, terms, pricing page, FAQ or public checkout. Facts store the final URL, capture time, hash and exact excerpt or locator.
02
Independent primary record
A registry, regulator or official platform or ecosystem source can corroborate identity or availability where relevant.
03
Explicit inference
A bounded assumption, shown as inferred, unverified and non-canonical. It never becomes verified merely through repetition.
04
Discovery hint
Search results, directories and competitor sites can identify a candidate or a gap. They are not imported as factual evidence.
A source record can include a URL, capture time, text hash, excerpt and review status. These details help explain where a value came from; they do not independently verify that it is correct, complete or current.
Inferred values are shown as inferred, unverified and non-canonical. Repetition does not promote them, and unknown facts stay open instead of receiving defaults.
Illustration only. Source details and review coverage vary by entry.
Five gates between a proposed company and a page in the sitemap.
1
Candidate
A company name and official domain are proposed. No public status is granted.
2
Research
Public pages are captured and proposed values enter the evidence queue as pending.
3
Review
Evidence is accepted or rejected. Unknown facts remain open instead of receiving defaults.
4
Publication gate
Required fields, programs, sources and unresolved change signals are evaluated before publication.
5
Index gate
Only canonical pages with unique utility and eligible evidence enter the sitemap.
FundedHub does not declare evidence stale merely because seven days passed. An unchanged source remains valid without a cosmetic recurring crawl.
Change signals from monitored sources or incoming mail open a revalidation task. While that task is active or failed, affected facts are not treated as fresh.
FundedHub score · rules-v5 · 8 October 2026
One score per firm, based on documented trading terms across its published program types. Higher points reflect more of the benefits in our rubric. This is an editorial comparison, not a rating of the firm's reputation, safety or likelihood of paying. Your personal fit is separate.
Permissions, loss allowances, targets, payout eligibility and selected fee benefits each have a fixed place in the rubric. General legal, identity-check and anti-abuse clauses earn no deductions. More FAQ entries do not mean a lower score.
Only fully assessed components contribute points. Unknown terms receive neither a bonus nor a penalty. Evidence coverage shows how much of the applicable scoring weight is assessed; it is separate from the score. A changed evidence base can move the score in either direction.
Each program type with assessed components has equal weight in the company score. Identical scoring profiles within a type count once, so extra account sizes or duplicate offers do not give a firm more influence. Switching programs keeps the company score unchanged; the displayed benefits follow your selected program.
These are our editorial preferences for flexibility, not an objective measure of the best firm. They are identical for every company and published as a versioned rubric. We chose attainable headroom references; neither another firm's score nor a commercial relationship sets the thresholds.
| Area and weight | How benefit points are earned |
|---|---|
| Trading flexibility · 25% | Eight equal components, each 3.125%: overnight holding, weekend holding, automated trading, own-account copying, scalping, news trading, hedging and minimum trade duration. An applicable recorded permission earns 100 points; an explicit prohibition earns 0. Duration: 0 seconds → 100; 300 seconds or more → 0. An asset-only or unselected account-variant permission is not treated as a general permission. |
| Targets and time · 20% | Four components, each 5%: total evaluation target, minimum evaluation trading days, evaluation time limit and inactivity allowance. Phase targets are added into one workload: 0% total → 100 points; 20% or more → 0. Minimum days: 0 → 100; 10 or more → 0. Evaluation time: positive values scale up to 100 points at 180 days; explicitly unlimited earns 100. Inactivity allowance: 0 days → 0; 90 or more → 100. Qualifying payout days and a theoretical way of satisfying a consistency rule do not establish minimum evaluation days. |
| Drawdown allowance · 25% | Daily allowance carries 10% weight; overall allowance carries 15%. Positive values scale up to 100 points at 5% daily and 10% overall. Larger values do not earn extra points. This measures stated percentage headroom only: trailing, balance/equity basis, reset and breach mechanics remain separate conditions and personal-fit criteria. More headroom is not a claim of lower financial risk. |
| Payout terms · 25% | The recorded profit split carries 15% weight: an 80% split earns 80 points. One timing component carries 10%: use the longer of the first-payout eligibility wait and the recurring eligibility interval. 0 days → 100 points, 30 days → 50, 60 days or more → 0. These are eligibility periods, not guaranteed processing times. Profit share and timing from incompatible payout options cannot be combined into one offer. |
| Fee benefits · 5% | Entry-fee refund and absence of a mandatory monthly subscription each carry 2.5%. A documented full cash refund or explicitly absent subscription earns 100; the opposite earns 0. Refund eligibility conditions remain attached. Partial refunds, store credit and paid refund add-ons are not treated as a full base-offer refund. Purchase prices and other charges remain in the comparison separately. |
Numeric values between reference points use a straight line, capped at 0–100 and rounded to whole benefit points. Zero points means no credit for that preference, not misconduct. Evaluation targets, minimum evaluation days and evaluation time do not apply to instant funding. Within each program, the original weights of the fully assessed applicable components are normalized together; we do not rebalance each category separately.
Example: a firm has two distinct One Step profiles contributing 4.0 and 4.2, giving that type 4.1. Its Instant type contributes 4.5. The company score is (4.1 + 4.5) ÷ 2 = 4.3 / 5. Repeating an identical profile or adding more account sizes does not change that result.
Coverage: the assessed share of applicable component weights, averaged through the same distinct-profile and program-type grouping. Coverage includes all represented profiles and types, including those with no assessed components at 0%. It is not a confidence probability or the percentage of all a firm's rules collected. An incomplete evidence base can still produce a score; without any assessable components, the score stays pending.
Selected program benefits: individual assessed criteria with at least 75 benefit points can appear below the company score, with their actual conditions. These benefits change with the program tab and do not create a second company rating.
Ordinary restrictions against abusive trading do not cancel a documented permission. A permission for a different account variant or asset class is not generalized to the whole program. Payment-method transaction limits and general risk-management clauses are not scored as universal payout or position-size caps. Those terms remain available in the rules.
A new publication, corrected fact or change to its supporting evidence can change the calculation. Evidence revisions invalidate stored scores; the publication workflow and an hourly job recalculate them. A pending score is not a negative assessment. Scoring uses recorded data without calling a language model.
Reviews, payout certificates, scam reports, Trustpilot ratings, clicks, commissions, sponsorships and FundedHub+ memberships do not affect these points. AI may assist research, but does not award discretionary scores or bonuses to named firms.
Rules-v5 replaces program score ranges with one company-wide score and separate evidence coverage. Previous versions are not directly comparable and are not reused as current scores. Source records can still contain errors or become outdated. Use the linked sources and confirm relevant terms with the firm before deciding.
AI may help find, extract or draft content, but the generation method and editorial status are independent records. Reviewed AI-assisted content identifies the responsible editor and review date. Pending content is disclosed as pending, and research articles cannot enter the sitemap without a source manifest and recorded review.
