Trust is the product
Editorial and comparison methodology
No pay to rank
Vendor verification pays for identity, domain, and claims review. It does not buy inclusion, recommendation eligibility, a better assessment, or a comparison win.
Evidence labels
Profiles and recipes state whether they are editorial, vendor-supplied, hands-on tested, benchmarked, or awaiting a run. Pricing and features must be rechecked on primary sources.
Reproducible AI comparisons
A comparison fixes the task fixture, repository state, model ID, harness version, prompt, tools, permissions, add-ons, and budget. It reports dimensions and raw artifacts; it does not invent a universal score.
Corrections
Send evidence-backed corrections to editorial@softwaresausage.com. Material updates will include a dated change note as that system comes online.
