What a byline on this site means

Every article and every review is signed. The byline links to the writer's page, which lists the beats they cover and everything they have published here, so the body of work is available to judge rather than a biography alone.

  • Dates are on the page. Each piece shows when it was published and, where it differs, when it was last updated. Reviews additionally carry the date their sources were read.
  • Figures are sourced.Ratings are built from the provider's own published pages, listed and dated at the foot of each review, and scored against criteria published per category. Where a provider publishes nothing on a criterion, that gap is scored as a gap.
  • Nothing is paid for. No advertising, no sponsored posts, no affiliate or referral links anywhere on the site, so no writer here is covering a service the site earns from. See how the site is funded.
  • Corrections are published. Mistakes are fixed in the open with a dated note. Send the URL and the specific issue to [email protected] — the process is in our corrections policy.

The full rules are in our Editorial Policy, and what the site is — and is not — is set out on the masthead.
