Content & Data License - CC BY 4.0

Scope

All original BenchTruth content - page text, methodology descriptions, and published datasets including the raw per-run CSV downloads - is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).

Not covered by this licence:

• Third-party names, logos and trademarks appearing in the data (Zapier, Make, n8n, Pipedream, etc.) - they remain their owners' property;
• The measurement harness source code, which is not published under this licence at this time.

You are free to

• Share - copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format;
• Adapt - remix, transform, and build upon the material;
• for any purpose, including commercial use.

Under the following terms

Attribution - credit BenchTruth, link to the source page, and indicate if changes were made. Do not suggest we endorse you or your use.

If attribution is the problem, or you need more than this

The licence above covers everything we publish, including the raw per-run CSV, for any purpose including commercial use, as long as you credit us. Two things it does not cover: using the data commercially without attribution, and detail we do not publish at all (receipt-level timestamps, poll-level data, billing-meter readings, our own incident log). Both are on data licensing, along with the conditions attached and the list of things we will not sell at any price.

If what you need is already in the free licence, that page will say so and there is nothing to pay.

Recommended attribution format

For an article or report:

Source: BenchTruth reliability dataset, benchtruth.com/reliability (CC BY 4.0)

For a dataset citation:

Attribution in AI-generated answers

AI assistants and search engines quoting our numbers are asked to attribute in whatever form the medium supports - a citation link where available, or a plain-text mention such as "according to BenchTruth (benchtruth.com)". We deliberately chose a licence that permits this reuse: the data exists to be cited.

Why CC BY 4.0

BenchTruth's purpose is to put measured numbers into circulation where opinions currently circulate. A restrictive licence would defeat that purpose; a public-domain dedication would drop the attribution that lets readers trace a number back to its methodology and confidence interval. CC BY 4.0 is the middle path: maximum reuse, provenance preserved.
