Sources before statements

Every factual claim links to a source that was opened and read on the date shown. Statistics carry the name of whoever produced them and, for surveys, whom they asked. When a fact cannot be verified, it is left out.

The same test for every firm

Every provider is described against the same criteria, with its strengths, its limits and the situations where another firm fits better. Vendor-reported results are labelled as such, and illustrative examples are never presented as outcomes.

No paid placement

No firm pays to be listed, ranked or described. There are no affiliate commissions.

AI-assisted research

AI tools help with research and drafting. Every claim is checked against its cited source by an editor before publication.

Corrections and updates

Errors reported through the contact page are checked and, when confirmed, corrected with the date and a note in the page's change log. Pages are reviewed at least quarterly.
