How we work

One rubric, applied the same way

Every product is scored against the same seven criteria at the same weights, and the score is published broken down by criterion rather than reduced to a single number. A reader who weighs things differently can still use the findings.

Read the rubric

Sourced, dated, and honest about its limits

Our comparisons are built from published documentation and product materials, and we say so on every review. We do not write as though we have run software that we have not run, and where a fact cannot be established we record that instead of guessing.

Where our interests lie

Some vendors covered on our titles are commercial partners of the publisher. We state that plainly rather than leaving it to be discovered, and it does not change how any product is scored.
