Editorial standards

What every piece has to meet

Evidence

Every claim of a result comes with a baseline, a period and a measure. Where it cannot, the piece says so.

Named authors

Every article carries the author’s name, role and organization, linked to their member profile. No ghostwritten vendor pieces.

Editorial is never paid for

No product placement and no ranking of vendors in the editorial. Pieces written by companies appear separately as Partner content, clearly labeled as sponsored.

Reviewed

Our editorial team reviews every piece before it goes up, for substance and accuracy rather than style, with Advisory Council members on technical questions.
