Editorial policy

Evidence labels

Every article carries one of three labels:

• Tested hands-on — we ran the workflow ourselves on a real account with synthetic data. Claims about behaviour come from that run.
• Docs-verified — steps checked against official documentation or changelogs, without a live end-to-end run. Where a live run would differ, we say so.
• Desk research — comparisons and roundups built from official sources and stated criteria, not hands-on testing.

Testing rules

• Synthetic data only — fictional businesses, invented products, no real personal information.
• Free-plan testing is labelled as free-plan; we never claim to have tested paid features we couldn't access.
• Screenshots are taken from our own sessions. No vendor press shots presented as our own testing.
• Failures and limitations are published, not edited out.

Corrections

Verified errors are fixed promptly. Substantive corrections update the article's "Updated" date. Report errors tocollinskibowen@gmail.com.

Independence

Vendors do not review, approve or fund articles. Affiliate links are disclosed on the page and in theaffiliate disclosure.

AI assistance

We use software — including AI tools — to draft, transcribe, edit and produce. Editorial judgment, testing and published claims are reviewed against the recorded evidence before anything ships. If an article can't be traced back to what we actually observed, it isn't published.
