How we review a program
Written by Fewer Zeros. Last updated September 27, 2026.
Every “Is it worth it?” page on this site follows the rules below. They are here so you can check our work.
What we read
- The seller’s own pages: the sales page, the price, the terms, the refund and support pages.
- Older copies of those pages in the Internet Archive, to see what changed and when.
- The records of regulators in the countries where the program sells. For example: the FTC and the SEC in the US, the Competition Bureau in Canada, the ASA and the FCA in the UK, the DGCCRF in France, Procon-SP in Brazil. Each review names the ones it searched, and the date.
- Court records: the court, the case number and the dates, as the docket shows them.
- News reports from established outlets, with the outlet’s name and the date.
- Rating and complaint sites, such as the Better Business Bureau or Reclame Aqui. They count as opinion, never as proof.
What we don’t do
- We review what sellers publish: their pages, prices, terms and the public record. Each review lists what we examined.
- We never call a program a scam. If you searched “is it a scam?”, the review shows you what the record says. Deciding that is a job for a court or a regulator.
- A complaint or a lawsuit stays “alleged” until a court or a regulator rules on it.
- We never tell you what you will earn, and we never present a seller’s earnings claims as fact.
- We only quote pages we can link to. When a page is missing from a review, the review says so.
- No affiliate links. We earn nothing if you join a program we review.
How we sort the facts
The public record on each review is split into three groups, kept apart.
- Decided: a court judgment, a regulator’s finding or order, or a settlement. If a settlement says “no admission”, so do we.
- Pending or alleged: a lawsuit, a complaint or an appeal that no one has ruled on yet.
- Opinion: ratings, reviews, press commentary, and our own view. Ours starts with “Ours:”.
If we find nothing, the review says so, with where we looked and the date.
Prices, quotes and dates
- Prices are recorded as printed, on the day read: the seller’s exact words and currency, in quotation marks, with the date and a link to the page.
- Our own arithmetic, like a year at the monthly price, sits outside the quotation marks. That way you can tell their numbers from ours.
- Quotes are word for word. On our French, Spanish and Portuguese pages, a quote stays in its original language, with a translation next to it.
- Every date is the day we read the source. Each review shows when it was published and when it was last re-checked. When a price or a fact changes, we update the page and that date.
We sell a competing kit
Fewer Zeros sells a written kit: lessons and files on the business models these programs teach. That makes us their competitor. Every review says so at the top, with our price.
