feat(about): independence + Mobula conflict-of-interest disclosure#375
Merged
Conversation
Addresses the Mobula conflict-of-interest gap flagged in external SEO audits and required for the 'neutral methodology arbiter' positioning. New section iii on the About page declares: - Mobula funds the project + why - Mobula competes in 5 benchmarks and leads 2 (made explicit above the fold) - Three safeguards: open Prometheus data, open harness source, public methodology review (with the Coinpaprika story as the live example) - No paid tier, no sponsored slots, no token policy - Hosting funding source E-E-A-T signal: makes the conflict legible, links the recent methodology review PRs (#349, #352, #353), and gives Search Console / AI citation engines a concrete reason to treat the bench as authoritative.

Why
External SEO audits flagged the absence of an explicit Mobula conflict-of-interest disclosure on /about. Mobula appears as leader on multiple benchmarks and the site presents itself as a neutral methodology arbiter — the gap was the obvious credibility hole.
What
Adds a new section iii ('Independence and disclosure') between 'What we measure' and 'How it works':
Effect
Resolves a real E-E-A-T gap. Researcher-grade readers (Messari, Galaxy, Coinpaprika) reading /about will now see the conflict declared and the safeguards before they can wonder why Mobula ranks #1.
