Editorial policy
Our standards, and how we make money
The principles behind every review on Zazazachat - and a plain account of the commercial relationships that fund the work.
-
Editorial independence
[Placeholder] Rankings and verdicts are decided by our testing, not by advertisers. This section will describe the wall between our commercial relationships and our editorial judgement.
-
How we source
[Placeholder] We evaluate tools hands-on and cite primary sources - vendor documentation, live testing, and public pricing. This section will detail our sourcing standards.
-
Corrections
[Placeholder] When we get something wrong, we fix it and note the change. This section will describe how to flag an error and how corrections are logged.
-
Use of AI
[Placeholder] This section will describe where automation assists our workflow and where a named human reviewer is always accountable for the final verdict.
Advertising & monetization disclosure
How money and rankings stay separate
Zazazachat is a monetized review publication. We want to be honest about what that means, because pretending otherwise would be its own kind of dishonesty.
-
Rankings are editorial. The order of a ranked list follows our published testing methodology and the SupportScore. Placement is not for sale, and a vendor cannot pay to rank higher or to be ranked first.
-
Sponsored placements are labeled. When a vendor pays for a placement, that unit is clearly marked “Sponsored” or “Featured Partner” and is set apart from the editorially ranked list.
-
Some links are affiliate links. We may earn a commission when you sign up or buy through certain links - at no extra cost to you. This never changes a ranking or a verdict.
[Placeholder] This section will expand on the full list of ways we earn revenue and the safeguards that keep them from influencing our editorial judgement.
