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

Every published fact keeps an exact entity, product, market, status, date, and scope. The public copy states one bounded conclusion. An unconfirmed field remains unknown instead of becoming a verified claim or a categorical negative.

Verification

We separate verified, unverified, estimated, unknown, and contract-only information. The published result is our own dated, scoped assessment, not a catalogue of third-party assertions or a log of the research process. 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. Exact rights are shown only when confirmed at claim level; otherwise they are marked as contract terms not confirmed and must be settled in the signed agreement.

Conflicts of interest

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

Corrections and updates

Every review shows its last review date. Fast-moving licensing, product, pricing, and uptime fields are prioritized for refresh, but the date does not mean that every field changed on that day. Material changes to our shortlist boundaries, product scope, credential gates, and operational conclusions are recorded in our data changes with the previous position, updated information, current position, and score impact. The current correction-channel status is on the contact page; it will reopen only with reliable delivery.
