No revenue total is calculated. The directory includes different currencies, metrics, periods, and reporting methods.

Reading these numbers

Curated, not representative. Inclusion reflects editorial selection and public evidence availability.
Unknown is not zero. Missing revenue tells us about disclosure, not business performance.
Snapshots, not a time series. Repository metrics are observed values, not growth calculations.
