Accuracy first

Every factual claim about a regulation or a tool links to a source we opened, with the access date. If we cannot verify something, we leave it out or say it is not published. Where a rule has changed, as the AI Act did in 2026, we cite the most recent official text or guidance.

Fair to every tool

Each tool is described in plain, neutral language, with its strengths, its limits and the companies it suits best. We say when another tool is the better choice.

No paid placement

No vendor pays to appear, to be ranked or to be described differently. There are no affiliate links. Links to vendor websites are there for your convenience.

How we use AI tools

We use AI tools to help with research and drafting, under the same rules our template sets out: a person reviews every page, every factual claim is checked against its source before publication, and the sources are listed on every page.

Corrections

If a fact is wrong or out of date, tell us. We fix verified errors quickly, update the page's date and record the change in the page's change log.
