Editorial Policy

Last updated: October 25, 2026

This policy describes how content is produced, reviewed, and corrected on ToolScope. It applies to every article, comparison, and guide we publish, in English and in Arabic.

Independence

  • We do not accept payment for reviews, verdicts, or rankings.
  • We do not allow vendors, PR agencies, or affiliates to preview, edit, or veto editorial content.
  • If a vendor provides a free license or account for testing, we disclose it in the review.

Scores and verdicts

  • A score is only published when testing described in our methodology is complete.
  • Until then, articles carry an explicit "rating pending" state instead of a number.
  • Verdicts are written by a human editor. We do not generate reviews with AI and publish them unreviewed.

Sources and evidence

  • Claims about product behavior are backed by hands-on use, official documentation, or clearly attributed public sources.
  • When we cannot verify something — pricing, a feature, a claim — we mark it as unverified rather than guessing.
  • Screenshots and evidence in reviews come from our own test setups unless stated otherwise.

Corrections

Mistakes get fixed, visibly:

  1. Factual errors are corrected and the article shows an "Updated" date.
  2. Substantive changes to a verdict or recommendation are noted in the article itself.
  3. Readers can report errors through the contact page; we respond to every correction request.

We may publish clearly labeled sponsored or partner content in the future, under these rules:

  • It will be visually and verbally distinct from editorial content.
  • It will never use the review template, the score system, or our recommendations format.
  • The sponsor will be named in the title area, not hidden in a footer.

Demonstration content

While the publication launches, some articles are marked Demonstration content. These exist to show article structure and layout. They are excluded from search engines and make no factual claims about products.

Translation policy

English is the primary publication language. Arabic articles are edited as independent editorial work — not machine-dumped translations. An Arabic article may be a translation, a summary, or an original piece; each is labeled accordingly.
