Priya Venkataraman is the reason our claims have links and dates under them. Her background is in research librarianship, and she treats sourcing as the product: she pulls pricing and platform facts straight from the official pages, dates every figure because free tiers drift, and reads the threads we cite closely enough to stop us overstating them. She runs the re-check calendar — the whole MyFitnessPal-barcode story is why a badge can be downgraded with a changelog note — and she keeps us honest about sample bias, reminding everyone that a loud subreddit is a vocal sample, not the whole population, and that we should say so out loud.
