Editorial Policy

Independence

Editorial decisions (what we cover, how we score, and how we rank) are made independently of any commercial relationship. Providers can’t buy a score or a rank. See how we make money.

Accuracy and sourcing

We build records from regulator and laboratory pages, audited reports, attributable operator evidence, provider product documentation, and selected trade reporting. A provider source is evidence of a vendor statement, not independent measurement. Structured volatile claims can carry a source, check date, status, and scope; where claim-level evidence is still missing, the profile exposes that limitation rather than upgrading the claim to verified.

Verification

We check risky claims against the strongest source available and separate regulator-verified, vendor-stated, estimated, unknown, and contract-only information. Named clients and awards do not by themselves prove the current product scope, relationship status, uptime, or commercial outcome. US supplier coverage does not replace an operator licence, market access, or product approval.

Scoring

Axis scores are editorial assessments; overall scores are reproducible roll-ups using published, versioned, category-specific weights. Ownership and exit terms are not inferred from architecture. Unless exact rights have claim-level public evidence, they are shown as contract-only or not publicly verified and must be confirmed in the signed agreement.

Conflicts of interest

Commercial relationships are disclosed and kept separate from editorial scoring. Paid placements are labeled wherever they appear.
