Editorial Policy

Last updated: October 24, 2026

Who writes and edits

Vertical Charts is edited by Nirav Patel, Founder. Every article carries a named byline.

How the charts are made

The Vertical 52 and VertiScore are built from public signals using the published method on our methodology page. We do not accept payment for placement, and advertisers and affiliate partners have no say in rankings.

Sources and originality

News articles link the original reporting they draw on and add our own context and chart data. Show summaries are written by us in our own words. We do not copy platform synopses, reviews or other publishers’ text.

Use of AI tools

We may use software tools for data collection and drafting help. A human editor checks every published page for accuracy, and every opinion on the site is our editor’s own.

Corrections

Report errors to verticalcharts@gmail.com. We correct factual errors promptly and note significant corrections on the page.

Affiliate links and advertising

Some “Watch” links are affiliate links (marked rel=”sponsored”), and the site may show Google ads. Neither affects what we rank or how we rank it.
