How claims are checked

Research methodology

A lightweight editorial standard for a beta product whose access, pricing, and capabilities can change quickly.

Last reviewed August 22, 2026

Source hierarchy

We prioritize primary material: official announcements, current product pages, product documentation, help centers, and published terms. Independent reporting can add context, but it does not override a current primary source for product availability or plan details.

Claim labels

Verified: directly supported by a linked primary source.
Check live: supported at review time but likely to change, such as price, eligibility, or regional access.
Unverified: discussed publicly but not confirmed in the reviewed official record.
Editorial: our interpretation, recommendation, or comparison.

Review process

Material claims are checked against the live source, written narrowly, and assigned a review date. When an official source is ambiguous, the guide preserves that ambiguity instead of filling the gap with an assumption.

Product testing

Unless a page explicitly describes a first-hand test and its conditions, readers should treat the page as documentary analysis rather than an independent performance benchmark.

Updates and corrections

Beta features can change between reviews. Time-sensitive statements point readers back to the official source. Substantive corrections should update both the statement and its review date.
