>Yes. This is all real data. No false data. All data taken from various sources like stripe, paddle, baremetrics data.

I get that, but the owner of the site reiterating the validity does not really verify anything. At least a page on the website that explains the methodology of arriving at these numbers would be better, maybe with some anonymized screenshots even.

The methodology is in the sentence you quoted.

Listing payment processors does not explain methodology. Did the startup owners send screenshots of their revenues from these processors to listt.xyz? Or did listt.xyz reach out to stripe, paddle, baremetrics ask to verify revenue data?

If the whole premise of listt.xyz is showcasing financials of private businesses, I wouldn't trust the data integrity so blindly without at least some credible explanation of how those numbers came to be.

Private business can still opt to display their revenues via comapnies like baremetrics.

So, companies like baremetrics pulls this data from their stripe,paddle accounts. Business will give access to baremetrics/similar companies to pull this data. Listt uses data from this kind of sources.

This builds credibility around the business.
