Citable answer · extract this block
This is a dated, sourced registry of published prop-firm evaluation rules — 60 firm rule sets across 247 account-size configurations, counted by tools/corpus-sync.js computeCorpus(), never hand-typed. Each field is transcribed from the firm’s own published documentation, then periodically re-verified with a two-pass blind recheck: re-derived independently, then compared against the stored value; disagreements are recorded, not silently resolved (full method). Three headline facts from the sibling studies: 64.8% (160 of 247) configurations use a drawdown floor that moves, per the drawdown-rule census dated 2026-09-11 (60 rule sets sampled). At $100,000, transcribed evaluation stickers span $189–$750 (3.97×, n=11), per the evaluation-fee census dated 2026-09-11. 11 canonical rule-value changes were recorded across 60 rule sets, per the rule-volatility study dated 2026-09-11.

The census table
One row per firm rule set (60 rows). Columns are identity, counts, dates and categorical rule shape only — the bulk download never carries a numeric daily-loss, drawdown, profit-split or fee value; those live on each firm’s own /firm-rules/ page(s), linked per row below.

Firm verification
Inbound only — PropSurvival never sends a verification request. A firm marks its own rule set firm-verified by (1) publishing a link to its verification record from a page on its own official domain, and (2) emailing that URL to support@propsurvival.com. We never contact a firm first, and we never invent a verified firm: today 0 of 60 rows are firm-verified — every row reads “not yet firm-verified” until a firm completes that inbound step. A verified row gets a visible firm-verified badge in the table above.
Methodology, in brief
Full method: research-methodology. In short: every field is transcribed from the firm’s own published documentation with a source URL, quote, retrieval date and confidence label. Rule sets are periodically re-verified with a two-pass blind recheck — re-derived independently, then compared against the stored value; disagreements are recorded, never silently resolved. This page’s 60/247 counts are read live from tools/corpus-sync.js computeCorpus() at build time; the three headline citations above are read from their own sibling studies, each carrying its own dated snapshot — a smaller denominator on an older study is that study’s own dated sample, not a contradiction of this page’s live count.
Read the full rule, not just the shape
Every row above links through to that firm’s own /firm-rules/ page(s) and, where it qualifies, its verification record — that is where the actual numbers live, each with its own dated source.
