Field notes
The page lays out a four-step process: file rules from the seller’s material, test versions on 2021–22 data, check leading versions on 2023, then assign a grade.

The site also presents the operator’s prop-firm payout challenge, with figures labeled as withdrawn cash and lost funded accounts.
