Avoid false precision
Public marketing pages should not imply a level of numerical precision that the page is not designed to maintain in real time.

MapleBridge Public Methodology
This page exists to reduce ambiguity. It explains what the homepage metrics mean, why they are rounded, and which public contact and reference signals are intended to be consistent across MapleBridge pages.
Scope statement
Homepage metrics are directional public signals. They summarize operating scale, but they are not intended to act as a live audited dashboard.

Homepage Metric Definitions
| `500+ Verified Suppliers` | Rounded count of supplier profiles in the internal matching pool that include business identity, category, and export-readiness fields sufficient for matching workflows. |
| `300+ Buyer Matches` | Rounded count of completed buyer-supplier introduction events generated by the matching workflow. It is directional and not presented as a real-time live dashboard number. |
| `$0 / ¥0 Free to Start` | Refers to the buyer-side start flow shown on public pages. It does not imply every downstream commercial arrangement is free forever. |
| `ZH↔EN / 中↔英` | Refers to bilingual information handling and matching context across English and Simplified Chinese public workflows. |
Why Numbers Are Rounded
Keep the public claim stable
Rounded figures are less likely to drift into contradiction across cached pages, search snapshots, and AI citations.
