The team, the rubric, the refresh cadence.
PropFutures.ai exists to bring transparency to a market that runs on hype. Here's exactly how we vet firms, score them, and keep the data current — and who's responsible when it slips.
Methodology
Six pillars, applied identically to every firm on the platform.
Rules Audit
Every firm's TOS is read line-by-line. Hidden clauses (consistency, scaling, holding rules) are surfaced on the firm page.
Payout Verification
Reviews carrying a Verified Payout badge require an uploaded bank/crypto receipt. Metadata cross-checked before publication.
Weekly Refresh
Pricing, discount codes, and rules are re-checked every 7 days. Trust score decays if data ages past 30 days.
Scoring Rubric
Firms are scored on 6 weighted axes: profit split (20%), payout speed (20%), rule fairness (20%), pricing (15%), platform quality (15%), community sentiment (10%).
Editorial Wall
Affiliate revenue never influences ranking. Our scoring engine is deterministic — see the AI Matcher for the raw weights.
Community Signal
Every firm carries a real-time review score from verified funded traders in our Discord and dashboard.
The scoring rubric
Deterministic weights, published in full. No hidden multipliers.
| Criterion | Weight | Signal |
|---|---|---|
| Profit Split | 20% | % share paid to the trader after payouts |
| Payout Speed | 20% | Median days from request → received (verified) |
| Rule Fairness | 20% | Consistency, DD type, hidden clause audit |
| Pricing | 15% | Entry price + activation + reset stack |
| Platform Quality | 15% | Data feed, execution, uptime SLA |
| Community Sentiment | 10% | Verified-payout review weighted average |
