Editorial Standards

The rules we hold ourselves to.

These are commitments we can actually keep with a small team and AI-assisted drafting. If you see us break one, tell us at corrections@gaxonline.com.

Sponsorship

Paid content is allowed. Hidden paid content is not.

  • We accept payment for sponsored placements: a mention in an article, a featured entry, or a sponsored review.
  • Every paid placement is labelled Sponsored where it appears, and its links carry rel="sponsored".
  • Payment never buys a score, a ranking position or a badge. Sponsored products are scored the same way as everything else.
  • Sponsors can supply facts and materials. We write the final text, and it has to be accurate.
  • Some outbound "Visit website" links may earn a commission. They are marked rel="sponsored" and do not affect scores.
AI and accuracy

How we use AI, and where it falls short.

  • Most reviews, comparisons and scores are drafted with AI models working from public sources. Our methodology page describes the process.
  • We do not present AI output as hands-on testing, lab benchmarks or interviews that did not happen.
  • We do not invent people. Content is credited to GAX Online Editorial rather than to made-up bylines.
  • We do not publish invented user reviews or testimonials, or rating counts that have no source.
  • Primary sources win: the vendor's own site, documentation and pricing, and public registries. Vendor claims are attributed to the vendor.
Corrections

When we get something wrong.

  • Anyone, including the vendor, can report an error to corrections@gaxonline.com. Please include the page URL and a source.
  • We check the claim against the primary source. If it holds up, we fix the page and update its modified date.
  • If a correction changes the facts behind a score, we revise the score too.
  • We do not take pages down because a vendor dislikes an accurate review.
Vendors

What vendors can and cannot do.

  • Can: send corrections with sources, share documentation and pricing, ask to be reviewed, and buy a labelled sponsored placement.
  • Cannot: approve or edit a review before or after publication, buy a score or ranking, or require us to sign an NDA as a condition of coverage.
