Methodology

How BenchUX researches software

Our methodology starts with the question a buyer is actually trying to answer.

We review public sources, compare practical tradeoffs, and block unsupported claims before publication.

1

Map search intent

We identify whether the topic needs a review, comparison, listicle, or implementation guide.

2

Collect sources

We prefer official documentation, pricing pages, changelogs, product help centers, and credible public feedback.

3

Compare tradeoffs

Articles emphasize setup cost, workflow fit, pricing limits, privacy posture, support, and alternatives.

4

Run QA gates

Drafts are checked for unsupported claims, source-note coverage, malformed links, thin sections, and rendered-page issues.

What we do not do

  • We do not invent user quotes, private interviews, surveys, analyst reports, or exact benchmarks.
  • We do not write that BenchUX tested, benchmarked, or surveyed a product unless that evidence exists and is disclosed.
  • We do not treat affiliate availability as a reason to recommend a product.

How claims are checked

  • Feature and pricing claims must come from official pages, documentation, changelogs, or credible public feedback.
  • Generated drafts are blocked when they contain raw markdown, empty sections, unsupported testing language, malformed links, or visible source-note artifacts.
  • Live pages are audited after publishing because WordPress rendering is the final source of truth.
