Method

Five steps, every page.

Read the method
  1. 01

    Pick an axis that separates the field

    Score every tool on it before ranking anything. If they all score the same, that axis decides nothing and we find one that does.

  2. 02

    Read what the vendor publishes

    Pricing page, documentation, changelog. Record the URL and the day a human opened it.

  3. 03

    Cite benchmarks by name

    Where somebody else measured it, we link to their published result and say whose it is.

  4. 04

    Score against a published rubric

    The judgment is ours. The facts underneath it are checkable without agreeing with us.

  5. 05

    Name who it is not for

    Required on every scored review before the page will build.

Questions

The obvious ones.

The vendor's own pricing page and documentation. Every review, comparison and tool profile ends with a table listing each figure, the document it came from, and the date a human opened that document.
