Editorial Standards

These are the rules every AISagely article follows. They exist so you can trust what you read here — especially the recommendations that earn us a commission.

## How we test – We use tools on real tasks before recommending them, not spec sheets alone. – For comparisons, we run the same brief through each tool and judge drafts by how much editing they need to publish, not by which "sounds" nicer. – We report real limitations, not just strengths. If a tool is not worth it, we say so.

## How we write – Written by a named, credentialed human reviewer (see the author page). – AI may assist with research or first drafts, but every article has human testing, editing, and judgment behind it. We do not publish unedited AI text. – We cite primary sources (official docs, pricing pages, studies) with dates, and show a visible last-updated date.

## Accuracy and corrections – Prices and features change. We link live sources so you can verify current numbers, and we refresh articles when things move. – Found an error? Tell us — we correct promptly and note significant changes.

## Money and independence – Affiliate relationships are disclosed near the top of every commercial page and in our Affiliate Disclosure. – Commissions never buy a recommendation. We routinely recommend free tools and cheaper competitors when they're the better choice.

## What we won't do – No fake authors or pseudonyms. – No "test"/placeholder posts. – No thin, mass-produced content. We publish fewer, better articles on topics we can genuinely help with.
