This page sets out what our analysis is, what it is not, and how to use it responsibly. We publish it so there is no ambiguity about the basis for our guidance.
It covers every article, guide, case study, calculator, and white paper on this site. The content is general analysis, prepared in good faith, for information only.
How to read what we publish
| You read | Treat it as | Then |

| A savings range | Context, not a quote | Model your own estate |
| A pricing figure | A dated reference | Confirm vendor current terms |
| A negotiation tactic | A general pattern | Adapt to your contract |
No. Our guidance is commercial and licensing analysis. It does not create an advisor or client relationship and should not replace advice from a qualified professional.
For disclosure standards we follow the United States FTC guidance on clear disclosures.
We are independent and buyer side. We take no commission or reseller margin, and we disclose where AI assists drafting under a named human reviewer.
No. We hold no reseller, referral, or affiliate relationship with the vendors we analyze, which keeps our analysis on the buyer side. We follow Google people first content guidance and its guidance on AI and content, and map our markup to Google Article structured data.
The standard sales pitch is that a buyer can lock a fixed percentage saving on any renewal. We disagree. Across hundreds of buyer side engagements, the realized saving depended on the estate, the contract, and the timing, not on a headline number. The buyer side move is to treat any guaranteed figure with suspicion, model your own position from the vendor current terms, and hold advisors to a method rather than a promise. A number with no estate behind it is marketing, not analysis.
