Every case on Proof of AI Income has a verification status:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
unverified |
Submitted, with public sources, but nobody has checked them yet. |
pending |
We asked the person for more evidence and are waiting for an answer. |
verified |
We checked payout records or platform dashboards against the claim. |
disputed |
Evidence contradicts the claim, or the sources changed after review. |
rejected |
The claim could not be supported and has been removed from statistics. |
What counts as evidence
- Platform payout records (Stripe, Gumroad, YouTube Studio, Etsy, and so on).
- Invoices with client details redacted.
- Public posts or interviews, used only as supporting material.
Normalising income
Cases report income per day, week, month, year, or as a one-time payment. The income range statistics convert recurring amounts to a monthly equivalent in the original currency. We do not convert between currencies.
