THIRD PARTYCURRENT
Publication standards

Ownership disclosure

Third Party Current is a commonly owned industry-intelligence publication. The ownership model is disclosed because the parent may later develop products after separate market validation.

Current business

The publication maintains market data, reporting, comparisons, and buyer research. It does not currently sell a third-party risk software product.

Future products

A product opportunity would require buyer interviews, evidence of an existing paid workaround, design partners, paid manual validation, and a recurring workflow. Search traffic alone is not product validation.

Editorial firewall

Public market information and aggregated, permissioned audience research may inform strategy. Confidential sponsor information, private roadmaps, campaign performance, and restricted customer information may not be used competitively without explicit permission.

Required disclosure

Any commonly owned product appearing in a directory, comparison, story, or research sample will receive a visible ownership disclosure near the relevant content.

Persistent standard

This policy is part of the publication's operating charter and applies to reporting, company records, comparisons, research, sponsored programs, and future commonly owned products.
