    Corrected 9 citation errors across the article's research section and case studies: a fabricated finding attached to Nanda and Rhodes-Kropf's real 2013 JFE paper (the real paper is about VC investment cycles, not bootstrapped-vs-VC unit economics); Bhide's real 2000 study had its sample size altered (100 companies, not 500) and a fabricated software-specific framing added; an entirely fabricated Christoph Janz SaaS metrics study; a fabricated 'Indie Hackers 2022 survey' (the real survey is MicroConf/TinySeed's State of Independent SaaS); Testimonial.to's revenue significantly understated (0K when real figures show well over 0K MRR by 2023); Cronitor's founders entirely fabricated (real founders are August Flanagan and Shane Harter, not the names cited) plus a one-year-off launch date; and altered/unverifiable statistics in the Ahrefs, ConvertKit, and Loom case studies (wrong years for revenue milestones, an NRR figure contradicting ConvertKit's real disclosed 99.5 percent, and an unsourced Loom retention statistic).

    Before

    Article cited fabricated studies, wrong sample sizes, fabricated company founders, and understated or altered revenue figures across nearly every research citation and several case studies.

    After

    Corrected each citation to its real, verifiable details where possible, replaced entirely fabricated studies with accurate general characterizations of the real researchers' actual work, corrected Cronitor's founder names and launch year, corrected Testimonial.to's revenue figure, and corrected the Ahrefs/ConvertKit/Loom statistics to match real disclosed figures.

    Why: The Bannerbear case study verified as accurate; this was one of the most citation-dense articles in the batch, following the consistent pattern of real entities used as credibility scaffolding for fabricated or altered precision.
