What this data can and cannot tell you

A catalog is evidence. It is not an approval promise.

01

Included

Public national products, stated annual fees, rewards, benefits, availability, likely credit range, use cases, important limitations, and an issuer source.

02

Excluded

Targeted offers, branch-only products, account-specific upgrade offers, live approval odds, assigned credit limits, and unpublished underwriting rules.

03

How Dean uses it

Hard constraints remove bad fits first. Ranking then uses the user’s goal, current wallet, spending, fee comfort, repayment plan, credit range, and benefit preferences.

04

Commercial boundary

Affiliate availability never adds ranking points. An uncompensated card can rank first, and Dean can recommend waiting or keeping the current card.
