Methodology

How AI tool data, ratings and trust signals should be read.

This page explains how users should interpret directory data before choosing an AI tool.

Ratings and Reviews

Ratings and review counts are discovery signals from platform data, user reviews, imported data or admin-maintained records depending on listing stage.

Freshness Confidence

Verified: company-confirmed or strongly reviewed by admin. High: recently checked with useful source signals. Medium: useful listing data, but not fully verified. Low: stale, limited or disputed information.

Sponsored Listings

Sponsored inventory may appear in banners, category slots, newsletters or featured placements. Sponsorship should be labelled and does not remove the need for buyer checks.

Company Claims

Approve claims only after official domain email, website ownership, DNS proof, LinkedIn/company evidence or direct vendor confirmation.

Buyer Reminder

Always verify final pricing, privacy terms, support policy, refund terms, usage limits and compliance requirements on the vendor website before paying.
