Editorial Policy

How we choose what to test, how affiliate relationships work, and why we publish under an editorial identity.

Editorial independence

Scores on this site are set by the 5-criteria framework described in How We Test AI Tools, before we know whether a link to that tool will be an affiliate link. A tool's affiliate program, commission rate, or partnership status never changes its score, its pros and cons, or whether we recommend it.

Affiliate relationships

Some links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you sign up through them, at no extra cost to you. Every page with an affiliate link discloses it inline, near the link itself — not only in a footer notice. See our full Affiliate Disclosure for details.

Why reviews are published under Adrian Cole

Reviews and comparisons on TeknexiaHub are published under the byline "Adrian Cole" — a consistent editorial identity used by our team to maintain the same testing standards, voice, and scoring discipline across every review, rather than switching between whoever wrote a given piece. This is not anonymity to obscure who's behind the site: our About the Author page states plainly that it's an editorial identity, and non-review content (announcements, updates, legal pages) is published under "Teknexia Editorial" instead.

We don't attach fabricated credentials, work history, or personal details to this identity. What you read in a review reflects testing our team actually did.

How we choose what to test

We prioritize tools that working creators are actively evaluating — driven by reader questions, category gaps on this site, and tools gaining real adoption. We don't accept payment in exchange for a review or a specific score.

Corrections and updates

Reviews are updated when a tool changes its pricing or core features in a way that would change the score. The "last updated" date at the top of each review reflects the most recent re-test, not just a copy edit.
