Out of interest, are the MMR $ amounts independently verified?

I have the sense some founders are inflating those figures but I could be wrong.

We shared our true figures when Chessable got on IH.

I don’t see what could be the motivation behind lying?

If one did hoping to catch investors eyes, investors would quickly uncover the lie, as they definitely do check!

It could be a viable way to catch potential customers' eyes as a B2B startup. "Hey everyone my company definitely makes $50k/month so lots of other folks trust us and you should too!"

Yes, all of the MMR on IH are verified by Stripe. No really independent of course but I think reliable enough for everyone.
