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.
