FUNDING & GOVERNANCE · Frequently asked questions
Who pays, what is refunded, and what the ratings are and are not.
Journalism faculty, graduate researchers and student newsrooms: write with your organization and what you need.
Contact us01Why does Vugol Me charge for political data?
Subscriptions are the only revenue. There are no sponsorships, no paid ratings and no advertising. Anyone may subscribe on the same published terms — reporters, researchers, campaigns and citizens alike — and no subscriber, whoever they are, has any say over ratings, rosters or releases. The paid tiers fund the nightly compute, the source review and the corrections process.
02What is the refund and cancellation policy?
Cancel any time from your account; access runs to the end of the paid period. Annual plans are refunded pro rata within the first 30 days on request. Monthly plans are not refunded. See the terms of use for the full wording.
03Is Vector a forecast or a win probability?
No. Vector is experimental: a direction plus a strength band built from fundamentals first and verified polls when they exist. It is never expressed as a percentage, and its inputs and weights are published in the methodology.
04How is every number traceable?
Each published aggregate is an immutable release with a checksum over its inputs and model version. Attention and Vector rows carry a model version and an input hash, and the weekly brief is rejected if it contains a figure absent from its inputs.
05Do you offer discounts for newsrooms and academics?
Newsroom and academic discounts are available on request. Write to us with your organization and what you need; there is no application form.
