Vendor and primary-source research
Verification and cross-checking
Human editorial review
Reproduction of calculations where methodologies are available, comparison across independent sources, review of real-world product feedback, and validation of vendor claims against documented terms. Gaps are flagged, not smoothed over.
A named senior editor reviews the compiled evidence and makes the final publication decision. Analyst profiles and a corrections policy are published.
Collection from official documentation, vendor support terms and SLAs, company filings, release histories, government statistics, and established research publications.
“Nothing ships without a human decision.”

Evidence broadly agrees, but scope, sampling, or replication is less strong.
One traceable and credible source supports the claim; treat as provisional.

NAMED ANALYSTS
Every report carries two names. Each report is attributed to the analyst who researched it and the editor who fact-checked it. Attribution is published with the work, so readers can see who stands behind a figure and raise a correction with the person responsible for it.
