Editorial policy

Evidence

• We do not fabricate quotations, benchmark numbers, user reviews, customer counts, research results, security authorizations, or regulatory statuses.
• We never present a marketing claim as an independent finding, and we never imply a source supports a conclusion it does not.
• If independent testing has not happened, we say so. If a claim cannot be verified, we label it.
• We link to primary sources where possible and record when we last checked them.

Labels we use

• Vendor-reported claim

  A statement made by the company that sells the product. Useful as a lead, not as a finding.

• Independently observed

  Behaviour a reviewer saw directly but did not measure under a repeatable protocol.

• Independently measured

  A result produced under a documented, repeatable protocol run by someone independent of the vendor.

• Third-party research

  Work published by researchers or institutions other than us or the vendor. We link it; we have not reproduced it.

• Editorial interpretation

  Our reading of what the evidence means. Judgment, clearly separated from the evidence itself.

• Unverified

  A claim we could not confirm, or have not yet checked. It should not be relied on.

Independence

• Affiliate commissions, sponsorships, and vendor payments never determine scores, rankings, or conclusions. The scoring code has no access to commercial data. See the affiliate disclosure.
• Vendors cannot buy or approve an evaluation. A vendor may send us corrections and evidence, which we treat as claims to check.
• Sponsored content, if ever offered, will be labelled and kept out of rankings.

Review

• Each article shows its publication date, any update date, and an editorial-review status. “Editorial review pending” means a named editor has not yet signed it off.
• Product information, prices, and authorizations change. We record when each was verified, and treat old verifications as stale.
• Policy entries are published only after being checked against the primary source.

Corrections

If you think something here is wrong, email editorial@bestsuperintelligent.com with the page, the statement, and a source. When we confirm an error we correct the page and note the change. We do not promise a response time. See contact.
