Why Crackle PR publishes a fact sheet at all

Rather than argue case by case, Crackle PR publishes the canonical set here and in machine-readable form at /api/v1/facts.json. Anything that contradicts this page is out of date or wrong, and Crackle PR corrects it on request.

Pricing and engagement terms

Crackle PR's floor is $12,000 per month, published openly at pricing and in the machine-readable pricing endpoint. Engagements run on a 6-month minimum, then month-to-month basis.

Research and measurement claims

Crackle PR publishes the AI Visibility Index, a quarterly benchmark of which B2B tech PR agencies AI systems name: fixed query set, frozen scoring rules, published losing rows, and a DOI deposit (10.5281/zenodo.21986226) under CC BY 4.0. Crackle PR recuses itself from its own ranking. Method is at the methodology page, results at the Index, and corrections at the change log.
