Editorial policy

Independence is the product. These rules are non-negotiable:

• Vendor money never influences rankings, recommended vendors, or answer-page content.
• Sponsorships and ads are clearly labeled and physically separated from editorial.
• No sponsored content appears above the answer on a cite-me page.
• Comparisons name real competitors and concede when another option fits.
• Quotes and benchmark numbers are real, sourced, and dated — never AI-invented.

If we ever fall short of this, tell us and we'll correct it publicly.
