Where the homepage figures come from.
Every number, map marker and logo on the homepage carries a superscript. This page holds the sources and caveats behind them.
- 01
1,000+ people, 70%+ research-trained, 100+ cities, 27+ countries, 100+ events and 21+ in-person gatherings are FINQ-provided overview figures recorded on September 10, 2026. They describe the broader community rather than a live count of verified members; the source does not specify the measurement period or the denominator for the research-trained share.
- 02
The Community layer shades countries by the share of FINQ's recorded LinkedIn audience whose location could be resolved; unresolved locations are excluded, each country or region is counted once, and the source does not record a snapshot date. Shading shows relative presence, not member counts.
- 03
The Gatherings layer shows the in-person gatherings in FINQ's events archive snapshot, one square per city with the number held there. Announced upcoming stops are drawn as open squares and are not archive records.
- 04
Affiliations are community-supplied candidates shown for identification only. Their inclusion does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, partnership or a formal institutional relationship with FINQ, and the logos are not a roster of verified members.
- 05
Featured stories are an editorial selection. Each post keeps its date, sources and relationship context; inclusion does not assign a verified status or a FINQ organizational role.
Figures are updated when FINQ records a new overview snapshot; the archive-based counts follow the reviewed events archive.
