Fact-Checking Policy

Source hierarchy

1. Hands-on testing: our own agent-build sessions, with dates and screenshots. The primary evidence for capability claims.
2. Vendor primary: vendor pricing pages, vendor documentation. Used for pricing and feature-availability claims.
3. Verified user data: G2, Capterra, Product Hunt — current counts linked directly.
4. Tier-1 tech media: TechCrunch, Wired, The Verge, MIT Tech Review, IBM Think. Industry-context claims.

Vendor blogs are never used as primary sources for factual claims about competitors.

Capability verification

Every platform-capability claim is backed by either our own hands-on build session or vendor documentation. Vendor-only claims we cannot verify in a production setting are flagged as vendor-reported.

Pricing verification

Pricing is re-verified against vendor pricing pages quarterly. Visible last-reviewed date on every review. Between-cycle changes corrected within 72 hours.

When sources conflict

When vendor-claimed capabilities conflict with our hands-on findings or third-party user reports, we cite both and explain the discrepancy. We do not default to the vendor-favourable interpretation.
