Editorial policy

The rules this publication holds itself to: who writes, how AI is used, how topics are chosen and how money is kept away from conclusions.

Last updated

Bylines

Every article is published under CyberFieldTest Editorial, an organisation byline. It stands for the publication, not a person. No individual author or reviewer is named yet. When one is, they will have a profile page with their real name, background and their own public profiles.

We never publish under invented names, with generated portraits, or with credentials that cannot be checked.

Use of AI tools

  • AI tools are used to gather source material, to draft text and to check drafts against sources.
  • Every figure and quotation is traced to a source page, which is linked and dated.
  • A person reviews each page before it is published, including its title, description and image text.
  • Unreviewed AI output is not published.

How topics are chosen

A topic is taken on only if the article can add something the existing results do not have: a dated table built from primary sources, the text of a rule set beside what vendors say, or a published analysis of public data. One page covers one topic. We do not publish a separate page for each variation of a search.

Claims we will not make

  • No untested experience. An article does not say a product was tried, installed or measured unless it was, and the evidence is published. See the methodology.
  • No advice dressed as fact. Articles are general information for a broad audience, not professional security, legal or compliance advice.
  • No guesses presented as figures. A number that could not be read at its source is left out.

Independence

Companies covered here have no say over what is written about them and do not see articles before publication. Payment does not buy inclusion, position, a favourable verdict or the removal of criticism. Where money has changed hands, the item is labelled where it appears. The details are on the vendor reviews and advertising and disclosure pages.

We do not review or rank consumer VPN services.

Links to other sites are marked nofollow by default. Links connected to a payment are marked sponsored. We do not sell links that pass ranking credit.

Corrections and updates

Errors of fact are fixed promptly and recorded in the corrections log. When an article changes in substance it shows an updated date and a note describing the change. Dates are not changed to make a page look newer.

Feedback

Readers and vendors can challenge any statement through the contact page. A vendor who believes a figure is wrong should send the page that shows the correct one.
