1. Copy-ready citations

Prefer these forms over inventing a paraphrase. Study datasets are CC BY 4.0 — reuse the figures with attribution. The live rule corpus behind the product has grown since some studies froze their sample; when a study states “43 rule sets / 178 configurations,” that is the study's sample, not a claim that the live product corpus stopped there. The live count (currently 59 firm rule sets / 243 account-size configurations) is on the methodology page and in corpus-emitted page banners.

@misc{propsurvival2026drawdowncensus,
  author       = {PropSurvival},
  title        = {The State of Prop-Firm Drawdown Rules: a census of 178 configurations},
  year         = {2026},
  howpublished = {\url{https://propsurvival.com/research-drawdown-landscape}},
  note         = {CC BY 4.0. 65.2\% (116 of 178) configurations use a moving drawdown floor. JSON at research-drawdown-landscape-data.json}
}

2. Directory listing kit

Use these blurbs as-is for tool directories, resource lists, and community wikis. They are written to stay inside PropSurvival's independence register: no firm ranking, no pass-rate claim, no imperative advice-voice.

Short (≤ 280 characters)

Medium (directory “about” field)

Category tags (pick what fits the directory's taxonomy)

• Prop firm challenge calculator / evaluation simulator
• Monte Carlo risk of ruin / survival probability
• Trailing drawdown explainer + calculator
• Trading risk-management tools (personal rules mode)
• Open research / CC BY dataset (prop-firm rule census)

3. Community kit

Ready text for a community resource list, wiki, sticky, or a single factual reply — not a marketing thread. Where a community bans self-promotion, do not post this as self-promotion; offer it only when a human asked for a source, a calculator, or a citation.

Resource-list entry

One-fact reply (when someone asks “do most prop evals trail?”)

Embed offer (when a host page wants a live calculator)

Partner price-card embed (cite the one-time price without retyping it)

One-step act after you decide to cite us: copy the iframe snippet. The card reads Situation Report · $29 · one-time · one month from the live pricing source and keeps the required via PropSurvival attribution link. Do not strip the attribution. Checkout prices are those charged at purchase time.

Operator placement playbooks (send criteria, 15-target channel ledger, pitch templates — no mass blast) live owner-side; this public page is the asset those pitches point at.

4. Link targets partners and directories should use

Prefer deep links over the homepage when the listing is about a specific claim. All URLs below are clean (no .html suffix).

5. What this page refuses

• No pass rates for named firms — a number about a trader under a rule set is computed from that trader's inputs, never asserted as a firm's business metric.
• No firm rankings or easiest-firm language — mechanic comparisons (static vs trailing floors) are about rules, not operators.
• No paid placement of firm listings — the corpus is not for sale to the firms it describes; see methodology §6.
• No affiliate eligibility for prop firms or their staff — affiliates states the permanent rule.
• No inventing a PropSurvival price — cite the price card or link /pricing; never retype a dollar figure that could drift from checkout.
• No inventing third-party traffic or “featured on” claims — this kit ships ready copy; mentions and backlinks are earned after placement, not asserted here in advance.
