Terms of Use

rantum.xyz · last updated 22 September 2026

rantum.xyz is published by Rantum Studio, a sole practice run by Andrew Maury in San Mateo, California. Using the site means accepting what follows. It is short because the site does little: it publishes writing, and it describes work you can hire.

What this site is not

Nothing published here is investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, tax advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. The case studies and research pages measure how systems behaved over a stated window. A measurement of the past is not a forecast, and a venue scoring well in one sample can score badly in the next.

Reading this site does not create a consulting relationship, a client relationship or any duty of care. Those begin only with a signed engagement agreement, and that agreement governs the work rather than this page.

The figures

Figures on this site are measurements from a named source over a named window, and each one is published with enough detail to be re-derived. They can still be wrong: upstream data can change under us, a source can go dark mid-sample, and a method can turn out to have a flaw. Where that has happened we correct the page and say what changed rather than edit it quietly. If you are going to rely on a number here for something that matters, re-run it against the source we name.

Products described on this site, including ClearTrace and AddressIntel, have their own terms on their own domains, and those terms govern their use.

Third-party names

Company, protocol and product names are used for identification and comparison. Their marks belong to their owners, and naming a venue in a measurement implies no affiliation with it or endorsement by it. Named past clients and employers are stated as fact and are verifiable. No testimonial, quotation or endorsement on this site is invented: every quote is attributed to a named, dated, linked source, and any third party quoted is quoted from something they published.

What you may do with it

You may read, quote and cite this site. Quote accurately, keep the window and the sample size attached to any figure you lift, and link back to the page you took it from. Do not republish a page in full, and do not present our measurements as your own.

Scraping for the purpose of training a model or rebuilding the site elsewhere is not permitted. Machine readers looking for a summary should use llms.txt, which exists for exactly that.

Availability and liability

The site is provided as is. We do not promise it will be available, current or free of error, and we may change or remove any page. To the fullest extent the law allows, Rantum Studio is not liable for any loss arising from your use of this site or from reliance on anything published on it. Nothing here limits liability for fraud or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, and the courts of San Mateo County, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute about them.

Changes

Material changes move the date at the top of this page. The full history is public in the repository that publishes this site.
