HOW RANKING WORKS

CROWNBOARD is a paid sponsorship marketplace. Position reflects sponsorship spend — nothing else.

• •New sponsored listings start with a minimum spend of $25,000. Providers can increase their sponsored spend at any time. Higher verified sponsored spend means a higher sponsored rank.
• •Claiming #1 requires spending at least $5 above the current #1. You can also enter a lower amount and CrownBoard will place your course at whatever sponsored rank that amount reaches.
• •If two courses have the same verified sponsored spend, the course that reached that amount first keeps the higher rank.
• •Today's #1 is determined by the highest verified sponsored spend made since midnight UTC for the Today leaderboard.
• •Already listed? Find your course again and increase your sponsored spend. You pay only the difference between your existing verified sponsored spend and your new total. You never pay your entire previous spend again.
• •Sponsored ranking is based on verified marketplace spend. Sponsored rank does not represent course quality, educational outcomes, accreditation, or an independent recommendation by CrownBoard.
