HOW THE DATA IS BUILT
Methodology and sources
Every guide and reward field has an internal evidence record. The public interface shows the result and conditions rather than a raw URL list, keeping cards readable while the full guide explains units and limits.
Source hierarchy
Rockstar Newswire, Support, official guides and title-update notes come first. When Rockstar does not publish a number or procedure, named secondary sources, version-pinned game scripts or a clearly described community observation are used.
Confidence and unit
A marks strong official evidence, B converging official and secondary evidence, and C a limited community observation. Every reward states its unit—such as finale, mission, sale, tick or full cycle—so unlike settlements are not presented as one rate.
Base rates versus events
Ranking and durable models use baseline rules. Weekly bonuses and GTA+ are a separate informational layer with their own time window and are never folded into permanent payouts. Reset rewards are not presented as sustainable GTA$/hour.
Calculations
Calculators apply documented costs, pools and split rules. When a result depends on target, time, role or Job settings, the interface shows a formula, variants or a dated observation instead of an invented average.
