The media kit is the site. Audit it yourself.
Most media kits ask you to trust a slide deck. I invite you to count the published work, inspect the standards, and test the tools yourself. I share current platform screenshots for audience figures in the first partner conversation because public pages cannot verify private analytics.
What you can verify right now
147 published analyses
Every one on this site, every one auditable — evidence-led, externally cited, written to a published editorial standard.
Published methodology
Named, evidence-led instruments with their scoring methods published in full, built to be run and cited, not just read. No competitor publishes its methodology this way.
6 working calculators
Trip ROI, Conference ROI, Sales-Ready Check, Approval Matrix, Hotel F&B, and Audience Reach — readers use them at decision moments, and so can you.
The audience, in claims we can defend
Who: tech sales professionals and tech sales leadership — AEs, sales managers, VPs of Sales, CROs, RevOps — plus the hotel and platform operators who serve them. This is by construction: the entire editorial surface is revenue travel, so the audience self-selects. There is no “general business” dilution to pay for.
How they arrive: at decision moments. Someone reading “Is this sales trip worth it?” or scoring a hotel is minutes from spending. Your placement sits inside the answer, not beside it.
How often I contact them: I cap the Field Brief and LinkedIn network at four sends per month. That policy limits placement competition and protects reader attention.
What they told us (2026 Business Travel Survey): 74% say in-person presence is decisive in late-stage deals · only 48% of trips are booked with a written objective · fewer than 20% of teams have formal trip justification · 87% say they debrief after trips. Those findings show a clear gap between perceived value and formal planning discipline—the exact decision gap this editorial work addresses.
Audience counts: I share current platform screenshots in partner conversations and put the agreed figures in each insertion order. If the verified reach does not support the price, I say so before you buy.
The reach math, priced honestly
Reaching senior tech-sales titles through ads costs what the market says it costs: roughly $125 per Software/IT lead on LinkedIn before the 40–60% seniority premium, $70–200 per software B2B lead on Google, ~$63–100 CPMs with half of tightly-targeted impressions landing off-persona (sources linked in the calculator). Our Audience Reach Calculator runs the comparison with your assumptions in every field — at benchmark defaults, partnership delivers a qualified engaged touch at roughly 1/14th the cheaper ad platform's cost. Don't take the default: bring your own numbers.

Every figure above is a charter rate with its step-up printed on its page — the same discipline we score everyone else on.
Every rate on this kit is a charter rate, held until July 1, 2027 — the step-up schedule is printed on each product page. Today's price is the charter rate, held until the first annual re-score edition. Buy at charter and your rate is grandfathered for every uninterrupted renewal. Increases are announced here first — never invoiced retroactively.
The verdict is never for sale — no purchase on this kit can move a score, in either direction. Corrections land in 7 days and live on the public ledger. The full protocol, including your right of reply, is published at /governance/.
