Legal and attribution

Accelerate10x teaches frameworks. Many of them descend from other people’s work, and this page says whose, and on what terms.

Trademarks

All trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Where a third-party mark appears here, it is used only to identify that owner’s work accurately — a reference, not a claim of rights. The marks below are the ones most relevant to the material this site covers:

Framework names used on this site are Accelerate10x’s own labels for the procedures it teaches. Where a procedure descends from someone else’s work, the source is named on the framework page rather than borrowed as the name.
