Editorial policy
Evidence before recommendation.
The rules we intend to apply to comparisons, corrections, commercial relationships, and AI-assisted production.
How we evaluate
We begin with a reader’s job, constraints, and decision criteria. We distinguish vendor documentation, independently observed facts, estimates, and unknowns. A missing answer remains an unknown rather than becoming a favorable assumption.
Product experience
We only describe hands-on experience when it actually occurred and can be documented. Otherwise, we identify the source as vendor documentation, a public demonstration, or another clearly named source.
Commercial influence
Commission potential does not qualify a product for coverage. If affiliate links are introduced, the relationship will be disclosed near relevant links and in the site-wide disclosure. Commercial terms may affect which products are practical to monetize, but they must not change verified facts or hide meaningful drawbacks.
AI assistance
AI may assist with research organization, drafting, language review, and production. Claims still require evidence and editorial review. AI-generated text is not evidence.
Corrections
Material corrections should state what changed and when. Correction requests can be sent to contact@worktoolbrief.com.
