1. Where Our Content Comes From

The case analyses on AI Business Lab are based on publicly available sources: short videos, social media posts, tool marketing pages, course descriptions, forum discussions, and publicly shared screenshots. We treat all of them as unverified leads, not proven facts.

Why this matters: income figures shared online rarely disclose ad spend, refund rates, tool costs, account suspensions, and actual net profit. A screenshot and a headline claiming high earnings are a long way from a verifiable business conclusion.

2. Outside Cases Are Unverified by Default

All cases sourced from outside this site are treated as unverified unless a page explicitly states "self-tested by this site." This means:

• Revenue, profit, cost, order volume, and traffic figures come from public sources and have not been independently audited or tested by us.
• Operational processes described in cases may no longer apply due to platform policy changes, market shifts, or individual circumstances.
• Replicability scores (0–100) are qualitative judgments based on publicly available information — not mathematical derivations or probability guarantees.

3. Our Analysis Framework

Every case is examined across four dimensions:

1. Cost — What are the visible and hidden costs? What's the realistic barrier to entry?
2. Process — What are the steps from zero to operational? What do the key milestones depend on?
3. Risk — Where is failure or loss most likely? What's the realistic worst case?
4. Replicability — Could someone else, at a different time, in a different market, expect similar results?

The purpose of this framework is to help you think through the numbers before you commit — not to nudge you into action.

4. What the ROI Calculator Is (and Isn't)

Our AI Side Business ROI Calculator is a scenario-testing tool, not a profit predictor. All outputs are driven entirely by the assumptions you enter and do not represent any real income expectation.

The calculator's job: before you invest time and money, it helps you list the variables, run the numbers under different scenarios, and find the breakeven point. If a venture can't pass a paper test under your own conservative assumptions, the real-world risk is only higher.

5. Not Professional Advice

Content on this site does not constitute professional advice of any kind:

• Business advice — We don't decide for you whether to pursue a venture. We provide frameworks for your own assessment.
• Investment advice — We do not cover stocks, funds, crypto, or any financial products.
• Advertising advice — Ad strategies vary significantly by product, market, and platform policy. Ad cost analyses are reference points, not recommendations.
• Legal or tax advice — Business registration, tax filing, and compliance requirements vary by jurisdiction. Consult a local professional.

6. What You Should Do

If a case interests you, we recommend this sequence:

1. Run the numbers with the ROI Calculator first — with conservative assumptions, not optimistic ones.
2. Trace the case to its original source. Check whether the information is complete and whether there are conflicts of interest (is the source selling something?).
3. Run a minimum-viable-cost test — not "spend money and hope," but "verify one critical assumption at the lowest possible cost."
4. Control your total exposure: don't borrow to test a side-business idea, don't put essential living expenses into ad experiments, and don't risk money you can't afford to lose entirely.

7. Advertising & Affiliate Relationships

This site displays automatic ads via Google AdSense. It may also contain affiliate links — when commercial relationships exist, they are disclosed on the relevant pages. Ads and affiliate relationships do not affect our independent case analysis or risk assessments.

8. Corrections

If you find factual errors, outdated data, or missing critical information on this site, email [email protected]. We will verify, correct, and note the revision date.
