1. 29 July 2026 · corrected by Emir Baycan

   Corrected 9 citation errors across the article's research section and case studies: an unverified finding attached to Nanda and Rhodes-Kropf's real 2013 JFE paper (the real paper is about VC investment cycles, not bootstrapped-vs-VC unit economics); Bhide's real 2000 study had its sample size altered (100 companies, not 500) and an unverified software-specific framing added; an entirely unverified Christoph Janz SaaS metrics study; an unverified 'Indie Hackers 2022 survey' (the real survey is MicroConf/TinySeed's State of Independent SaaS); Testimonial.to's revenue significantly understated (0K when real figures show well over 0K MRR by 2023); Cronitor's founders entirely unverified (real founders are August Flanagan and Shane Harter, not the names cited) plus a one-year-off launch date; and altered/unverifiable statistics in the Ahrefs, ConvertKit, and Loom case studies (wrong years for revenue milestones, an NRR figure contradicting ConvertKit's real disclosed 99.5 percent, and an unsourced Loom retention statistic).

   What the page claimed

   Article cited unverified studies, wrong sample sizes, unverified company founders, and understated or altered revenue figures across nearly every research citation and several case studies.

   What was corrected

   Corrected each citation to its real, verifiable details where possible, replaced entirely unverified studies with accurate general characterizations of the real researchers' actual work, corrected Cronitor's founder names and launch year, corrected Testimonial.to's revenue figure, and corrected the Ahrefs/ConvertKit/Loom statistics to match real disclosed figures.

   Why: The Bannerbear case study verified as accurate; this was one of the most citation-dense articles in the batch, following the consistent pattern of real entities used as credibility scaffolding for unverified or altered precision.
