FAQ

How to read the output

Does affiliate payout affect the result?

No. Affiliate economics have zero weight in workflow or tool scoring.

Are the software prices live?

No. These are planning prices from the local data layer. Verify vendor pricing before purchase.

What if regulated data is selected?

The engine excludes tools whose current evidence does not support that data-risk level, even when that makes the stack incomplete.
