Rankings reflect editorial judgment based on public evidence only. Vendors cannot pay for higher placement, better comparisons, or favorable copy.
Last updated April 21, 2026 · Every fact traceable to a public source
Rankings and best-of lists are editorial. We do not accept payment for ranking, positioning, or commentary. Every fact on a vendor page is tied to a public source, and every page shows a "Last verified" date. Paid tiers (if any) affect profile depth and media only, never ranking — and we disclose this on every page.
Public primary evidence only: the vendor's own product pages and documentation, accredited-audit certificates (SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO/IEC 42001), third-party regulator guidance references, investor filings and earnings calls where applicable, independent reviewers (Gartner Peer Insights, G2), and regulatory enforcement action where relevant. We do not run sponsored case studies or accept vendor-drafted copy.
Every profile carries a lastVerified date showing when it was last checked. Target cadence is at least quarterly, with sooner re-checks when a vendor or reader reports a change, when a public announcement (funding, acquisition, rename) surfaces, or when a new framework materially changes what a vendor needs to document. We are transparent that the site launched in April 2026 and cadence currently depends on signals and reader reports rather than a large editorial team.
One optional paid tier exists — Verified — which confirms that the vendor has formally attested their profile details are accurate and grants priority handling for corrections. It adds a "Verified" badge and nothing more. It never influences rankings, ordering, or editorial content. We do not offer a Sponsored tier, paid placement, or lead capture, and we refuse affiliate commissions on vendor links.
Vendors or readers can request a correction via the submit form. Corrections are processed by the editorial team and logged in our audit log. If a vendor's claim cannot be verified against a public source within a reasonable window, the claim is removed.
This FAQ is editorial. No vendor can pay to be included, highlighted, or ranked in answers. Paid listing tiers affect profile depth only — never rankings or commentary. Read our methodology for details.
