Authors and reviewers
Every article carries a named author with a bio describing relevant experience. Articles on money, legal or health topics also name a reviewer with the relevant credential. We do not publish under fake personas.
Sourcing
We prefer primary sources: government data, academic research, company filings and direct interviews. Secondary sources are used for context and are cited as such. We do not cite AI-generated summaries as sources.
Independence
Client content clearly identifies the client as publisher. Comparison pages disclose the publisher's relationship to products mentioned and state how products were evaluated.
Updates
Articles show a published date and a last-updated date. Substantive changes include a short change note.
Corrections
If you spot an error, contact us. We review reports within two business days and note corrections at the end of the article.
Ranking claims
We do not promise or guarantee specific rankings or placements in search results or AI answers. Legal review required
