In short: Editorial decisions are independent of advertising. Sponsored work is labelled. Rankings and reviews follow published methods, not private payment for a position.
Independence
Sales teams do not assign review scores. If a writer has a conflict, it is disclosed or the writer is recused.
Sources
We prefer primary documents: notifications, institute disclosures, public results and on-record interviews. See How We Verify Data.
Labelling
Sponsored, partner and advertised content must be recognisable. Details: Sponsored Content Policy.
Corrections: Correction Policy. Research steps: How We Do Research.
