Worth It Numbers.

Method: where every number comes from

This site only works if you can check it. So every figure is listed below with the page we read it from, the date we read it, and any expiry that applies. If a number here disagrees with the page it cites, that page wins and this site is wrong — tell us and we will fix it.

How the numbers are maintained

  1. Read, then write down. A person reads the source page and records the figure with the source URL and the date. Numbers never come from memory, other blogs, or aggregation sites.
  2. One place per number. Every figure lives in a data file and is injected into page copy at build time. Copy cannot type a price by hand; if a page tried, the build would fail.
  3. Expiry dates. Time-limited offers carry an end date. When the date passes, the offer stops appearing on the site automatically — the build refuses to publish an expired figure.
  4. A drift check. A script re-reads the source pages and compares what they say now against what the site publishes. If a figure moves, it reports the difference instead of publishing a stale number.
  5. Tests. The break-even formulas are tested against hand-computed examples, and the data files are validated for missing sources and expired figures, on every build.
