Editorial policy
How we report, source, correct and label our stories.
Sourcing
Every story is built from identifiable sources: company announcements and filings, product documentation and pricing pages, regulator decisions, court rulings, published research, and reporting from established outlets. The sources are listed at the end of each article, and we say what kind of source each claim rests on.
Accuracy
We report numbers, prices, fees and dates as published and attribute them. Prices and plans change often, so we date them to the page we read. We do not invent quotations, customers or results. Where sources disagree, we say so. We use software to help research and draft; an editor checks every story against its sources before publication.
Products
We do not publish star ratings or “best of” rankings based on hands-on testing we have not done. Comparisons describe what vendors document, with links.
Independence
News coverage is chosen on its interest to readers. Sponsors and partners do not decide what we report or how. Commercial content is reviewed by the editor for accuracy and relevance.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it. Material corrections are noted on the article with the date of the change. Requests go through the contact page.
