Editorial Policy

Our rules for evidence, independence, corrections, AI-assisted work and sponsorship. Editorial rankings cannot be bought.

Our readers come before placements. A commercial relationship must never determine an editorial ranking.

Evidence over easy superlatives

We cite original documentation, fee schedules, regulatory sources and dated product information wherever possible. Provider claims are identified as claims, not independently verified results. Pricing, country coverage and limitations belong next to recommendations—not hidden in footnotes.

Independence and disclosure

Editorial inclusion and ranking cannot be bought. Paid placements must be visibly labelled near the placement. Sponsorship does not grant approval over conclusions or remove criticism. Paid links use rel=”sponsored” (or nofollow where appropriate).

No pretend testing

We only describe hands-on testing when it actually took place. Research-only evaluations say so and explain what was and was not verified. We do not fabricate screenshots, customer quotes, credentials, performance results or product experience.

Authors, dates and corrections

Articles should identify the responsible author and relevant experience, show publication and substantive update dates, and provide a route for evidence-based corrections. A date is not refreshed merely to appear current. Material corrections should be acknowledged in the article.

AI-assisted work

If AI tools assist a draft or research workflow, a human remains responsible for sources, originality, accuracy and judgment. AI output is not evidence. We do not publish mass-generated pages to capture keyword variations.

Financial information is not advice

Our work explains business technology and operating trade-offs. It is not individualized financial, investment, tax or legal advice. Regulatory and compliance statements need primary sources, jurisdiction and date context.
