Editorial policy
How we research, test, disclose and correct. In plain terms.
We test before we recommend
When we call something the best, we have used it. Reviews are based on first-hand testing, not spec sheets or press releases. Where we have not tested something, we say so.
Independence and money
NeonPioneersmakes money from display advertising, affiliate links, and sponsored content. We may earn a commission when you buy through some links, and companies sometimes pay us for a sponsored post or to test their product. Two rules never bend: anything paid is clearly labeled “Sponsored,” and payment never buys a favorable verdict, a paid test gets the same honest result an unpaid one would. Any paid or sponsored link is marked so it does not pass search ranking credit. Our editorial recommendations are our own and are not for sale.
Sources and claims
We separate confirmed facts from rumor and cite where claims come from. For anything involving your money or security, we are deliberately conservative.
Corrections
We fix mistakes and note meaningful changes with an updated date. If you find an error, tell us and we will correct it.
On AI
We write about AI and we use it as a tool, but a human editor is responsible for everything we publish. Nothing goes out unread.
