Editorial standards

The rules that keep Standard Answer independent and useful for software buyers.

01
Consistent evidence across the site

Repeated facts use the same reviewed source so vendor, category, comparison, workflow, and glossary pages do not drift apart.

02
Drafts are not publication-ready

AI-assisted content remains a draft until a human editor verifies its claims, sources, dates, and tradeoffs.

03
No unsupported rankings

Best lists and comparisons explain fit and methodology. We do not imply hands-on testing, pricing knowledge, or customer proof unless we can verify it.

04
Visible review status

Editorial pages show authorship, review attribution, review dates, updates, and sponsor disclosure when relevant.
