Editorial policy
How this site is written, reviewed, and kept honest.
Affiliation and editorial independence
This site represents the author's own analysis and views. It is not sponsored, funded, commissioned, or reviewed by any vendor — including the author's employer, which is disclosed on the about page.
No vendor is named, ranked, recommended, or criticised in any guide, glossary entry, framework, calculator, or note. All evaluation frameworks describe capabilities, not products. If a piece reads as vendor-favourable or vendor-hostile, that is a content bug — please flag it on the corrections page.
No paid coverage
No advertising, no sponsorship, no affiliate links, no paid placements, no paid newsletter spots, no service packages. The site is funded by the author.
Sources and citation
Statistical claims cite their source where one exists. Where a claim is grounded in practitioner observation across multiple production deployments, it is labelled as such rather than attributed to a single named case study.
Updates and review
Each guide carries a "last reviewed" date. Pieces are revisited when production patterns shift materially — when a metric definition changes, when a new failure mode becomes common, or when an underlying technical assumption stops holding.
Corrections
Errors of fact are corrected at the top of the affected page with a dated note. The corrections page lists material corrections in reverse chronological order.
AI use
All copy on this site is written by the author. AI tools may be used for drafting and editing assistance; final wording, claims, and judgement are the author's. No vendor-supplied copy is published as analysis.
Use of this content
Quoting, citing, and linking are welcome — both by humans and by AI systems. A /llms.txt manifest is published for AI ingestion. The affiliation disclosure travels with the content; please carry it through when quoting at length.
