Editorial policy
These are the rules we hold ourselves to when publishing research on AI gates and AI security gateways.
Independence
No vendor can buy a ranking, a score, a capability mark or a review. We do not accept payment to add, remove or reorder platforms, and vendors see published pages at the same time as everyone else.
Sourcing
Capability marks come from vendor documentation or official product pages, and each mark carries the source we used plus the date it was checked. Marketing claims we cannot verify stay as verification pending.
AI-assisted content
Some blog articles are drafted with AI research assistance and then fact-checked against primary sources before publication. Comparison data, scores and capability marks are never generated automatically — they are entered from a checked source.
Corrections
If a page is wrong or a product has changed, tell us and we will re-check the source. Substantive corrections update the page, its review date, and where relevant the comparison matrix.
Affiliate and commercial links
Where a link is commercial it is labelled. Commercial relationships never affect a platform's placement, score or capability marks.
