Neutrality & Transparency
Quorly is a measurement instrument. These commitments keep the instrument honest — and keep every one of them auditable.
Ownership & revenue transparency
Quorly is an independent company. It is not owned, funded, or directed by any political party, campaign, PAC, or advocacy organization, and it accepts no political advertising. Any investor holding 5% or more is disclosed on this page, alongside our annual transparency report.
Revenue comes from users and institutions paying for tools and aggregated data — never from selling attention to political actors. If the money ever shaped the measurement, the product would be worthless; transparency here is self-interest.
No purchasable rankings, scores, or reach
Every ranked or scored surface on Quorly is computed from public, documented inputs. None of the following can be bought, by anyone, at any price:
Sponsored-content labeling
The only sponsored surface Quorly permits is clearly-labeled, non-political sponsorship of neutral features (for example, a data-tools company sponsoring the election-night dashboard). The rules:
- Every sponsored unit carries a persistent “Sponsored” label — visible on every frame, not just the first.
- Sponsors get zero influence over rankings, editorial framing, market questions, or moderation.
- Political candidates, parties, PACs, and issue-advocacy groups are ineligible to sponsor anything.
- Sponsorships are listed in the public transparency report with amounts.
What campaigns can never do here
- Buy placement in rankings, search results, or the feed
- Purchase, edit, or suppress a Representation Gap entry or accountability score
- Access any individual user's opinions, Pulse votes, or forecast positions
- Micro-target users by inferred ideology — we do not build ideology profiles to target
- Pay to remove, bury, or reorder polls, markets, or community notes
- Run political advertising on Quorly — there is none to buy
Campaigns and officials are welcome as ordinary verified accounts — posting, answering constituents, and being measured like everyone else. What they can never be is customers of influence.
Moderation appeal path
Any moderation action arrives with the specific rule cited and the content in question.
One click from the notice; you can attach context and sources. No fee, no character limit.
A different human reviewer — never the original decision-maker — re-examines the case.
You receive the outcome with reasoning within 72 hours. Reversals restore content and clear the strike.
Appeal outcomes are tracked and published in aggregate (upheld vs. reversed, by rule) in the transparency report — a moderation system that is never reversed is a moderation system that is never checked.
Correction policy
When Quorly itself gets a number or a fact wrong:
- The correction is applied in place, with the prior value shown struck through — we correct, we don't silently overwrite.
- A dated correction note is attached to the affected page permanently.
- Corrections of consequence (anything cited in the press or affecting a resolved market) are announced on the platform changelog.
- A public corrections log lists every correction, newest first. An empty log would mean no one is looking.
