How We Research

A source is evidence of a claim, not permission to overstate it.

Our evidence hierarchy

We prioritise official product pages, pricing pages, documentation and terms. Sources carry access dates. Search snippets are discovery aids, not final evidence for a detailed claim. We do not use one supplier’s claims about a competitor as proof of that competitor’s price or limitations.

Facts and judgement

Documented scope is identified as supplier information and linked to the source. Recommendations are editorial judgement based on an operating model. Where we have not verified a feature, price, integration or trial entitlement, we state the uncertainty rather than filling the gap.

Hands-on testing

The current article set is based on public documentation and editorial analysis. It does not claim hands-on product testing. A future hands-on report would describe the plan, configuration, date and scenarios tested, together with the limitations of the test.

What a comparison covers

We consider capacity, resources, booking amendments, staff roles, distribution, payment handling, implementation and exit requirements. A public integration listing is not evidence that every product type or amendment is supported. A fee percentage is not comparable without its transaction base.

Keeping information current

The source-check date records when the cited material was reviewed. It is not a promise of continuous monitoring. Readers should obtain current account-specific terms before purchasing. Material corrections are handled under our corrections policy.
