Editorial Policy

Provider hubs currently use alphabetical order. They are not score tables, and no provider has a numbered rank or editor-pick badge. A provider appears only when a current product record satisfies that hub's explicit eligibility rule.

A provider cannot pay to receive a rank, editor pick or more favorable review. Advertising and sponsorship do not change eligibility, scoring, watchouts or editorial order.

Any paid placement must be labeled as sponsored and displayed outside the numbered editorial ranking.

Regulator records, corporate filings, contracts, and product documents are evaluated inside the research record. Company marketing can start a check, but it is not published as a fact merely because the company repeats it.

Provider pages publish the resulting conclusion, not a diary of which website said what. When values conflict, the page uses the defensible value, a clearly scoped range, or an unresolved boundary. The dispute itself is discussed only when it changes a buyer's decision.

Providers may submit factual corrections, current product documents and source links. They do not receive copy approval and cannot require the removal of a supported watchout as a condition of participation.

Material corrections are applied to the page and recorded in the internal research data. A correction request must identify the exact statement and provide material that establishes the corrected fact.

A material correction changes the public content date. Reopening a source without changing the conclusion updates the internal research check, not the visible content date.
