01 / Relationship classification

Affiliate programmes

Commercial referral relationships through which Crux may receive commission from qualifying purchases.

Published register

Programme participation never guarantees favourable coverage, validation, or continued recommendation. Each commission-bearing link must be marked where it appears.

Each entry states the relationship scope, commission status, and whether equipment was purchased, supplied, discounted, or loaned.

Active programme

Commercial referral relationship supporting selected Crux recommendations and project documentation.

Scope: SenseCAP and selected development hardware are used in Crux work; individual products require their own validation record before being described as validated.
Commission: Crux may earn commission from qualifying links when a link is explicitly marked as affiliate.
Supply status: No supplied or loaned equipment is implied by programme membership.

Active programme

Commercial referral relationship for selected electronics, sensing, and field-power components.

Scope: Crux has purchased DFRobot components for current development, including optical rain sensing and portable solar-assisted field power work. Validation remains product-specific.
Commission: Crux may earn commission from qualifying links when a link is explicitly marked as affiliate.
Supply status: Current referenced development components were purchased unless a future report states otherwise.

Active programme

Commercial referral relationship for selected development hardware and technical components.

Scope: Programme membership is recorded separately from product validation. No SparkFun product receives validated status merely through this relationship.
Commission: Crux may earn commission from qualifying links when a link is explicitly marked as affiliate.
Supply status: No supplied or loaned equipment is implied by programme membership.

Active via Awin

Commercial referral relationship covering selected electronics and embedded-interface products.

Scope: Elecrow hardware considered or used by Crux is assessed separately. Affiliate participation does not convert evaluation candidates into recommendations.
Commission: Crux may earn commission from qualifying links when a link is explicitly marked as affiliate.
Supply status: Current programme status does not imply supplied or loaned equipment.

Active via Awin

Commercial referral relationship for selected additive-manufacturing materials.

Scope: Material recommendations require documented use and project-specific assessment. Programme approval alone is not validation.
Commission: Crux may earn commission from qualifying links when a link is explicitly marked as affiliate.
Supply status: No supplied material is implied unless disclosed in a specific report.
