Where James works on the site
Areas are set on the author profile and decide which pages can carry this byline. The figure beside each is how many pages that section of the site holds — not how many of them this person wrote.

Pages James Carter stands behind
Two different things, and the tag on each card says which. A guide is written by a person. A provider page is compiled from that provider's own catalogue and maintained by one — nobody wrote it, and calling it their writing would be the overstatement this system exists to avoid.

What a byline means here
A name on a page is only worth something if it comes with a method attached.
The figures are not written by hand
Prices, plan counts and medians come from providers' own catalogues, read on a schedule. A writer chooses what to say about them and cannot edit the numbers themselves.
Somebody else checks it
A review date is recorded by a person, separately from saving the page, so fixing a typo does not reset it. Where nobody has recorded one, the page says when the catalogues were last read instead of claiming a review that did not happen.
Commission cannot move a ranking
No payout figure reaches the code that orders any table on this site, and a unit test fails if the ranking code so much as mentions one.
