How we publish
Editorial policy
Our value depends on a clean boundary between evidence, analysis, and commercial influence.
Independence
Vendors cannot pay to change facts, remove documented considerations, or obtain a favorable conclusion. Sponsorships, paid placements, and affiliate relationships—if introduced—will be conspicuously disclosed and separated from editorial judgment.
Sourcing and attribution
We prioritize primary sources and link to the evidence used for material product facts. Vendor performance and outcome statements are treated as vendor claims unless independently verified. We do not copy review-site ratings into our analysis or manufacture a composite score.
Comparisons and testing
Our current comparisons are research-based evaluations. We do not imply that our editors used a product when the work was documentation research. Any future hands-on test will identify the tester, date, product version, environment, scripted workflow, measurements, and limitations.
Vendor submissions
Vendors may submit products, documentation, and corrections without charge. Submissions pass through the same evidence standard as editor-discovered information. Inclusion is not guaranteed, and vendor-written promotional language is not published as independent analysis.
Corrections
Readers and vendors can report a potential error with the page, claim, and supporting source. We review the current evidence, update material errors promptly, and preserve uncertainty when the evidence conflicts. A disagreement about editorial fit is not automatically a factual error.
AI assistance
Software tools, including AI-assisted tools, may help discover sources, normalize data, check internal consistency, or draft research structures. An editor remains responsible for every published claim. Product facts are not published from generative output without checking the cited source.
Safety, legal, and financial limits
The Registry provides product research, not safety, legal, engineering, accounting, or regulatory advice. Software does not by itself establish compliance. Safety-critical processes—including hazardous-energy control—must be designed, approved, and supervised by qualified people under the rules applicable to the project and jurisdiction.
