Source hierarchy

For changing product claims, we prefer official vendor documentation, pricing pages and help centers. Third-party sources may be used to discover questions or understand market language, but they do not override current first-party documentation for features or prices.

No fabricated experience

We do not claim hands-on testing, customer results, conversion rates or ROI unless the page explicitly documents the evidence and methodology.

Comparisons

We compare systems by the operational problem they are designed to solve. We do not force a false either/or decision between a marketing CRM and field-service software when a combined stack may be more accurate.

Updates

Pages with time-sensitive product claims show a fact-check date and source links. Product vendors can change pricing, packaging and features without notice.
