Comparison methodology

Rule 1

Every comparison page cites public sources and stores vendor facts in the repo-tracked vendor profile registry.

Rule 2

Title tag, H1, slug, and canonical topic key are reserved before drafting begins.

Rule 3

Trade-specific variants are allowed only when the query cluster, workflow, proof, FAQ blockers, or competitor set materially differ.

Rule 4

Comparison pages show the snapshot date so freshness is explicit instead of implied by the title alone.

Rule 5

Internal links point directly to canonical routes rather than redirecting legacy URLs.
