How we research products

You cannot check whether we are honest by being told that we are. So here is the method, and the difference between the two things most sites blur.

Used versus researched

Used

We hold an account and can describe it from the inside. Right now that applies to one product: MLM Recruit On Demand, where the Owner is a member. Statements about its supplied leads come from that account's own exported data, not from marketing copy.

Researched

We have read the vendor's own current pages and can describe what they claim, what it costs and what it appears to do — but we have not used it. LeadsMiner Pro and MineeMe are both in this category, and their pages say so.

Every product page states which of the two it is. We will not write "we tested" about something we opened a sales page for.

Primary sources first

Facts come from the vendor's own current material before anything written about them. This matters more than it sounds: while researching MineeMe we found a widely-repeated third-party description claiming it finds business prospects by industry and job title. The vendor's own site describes something quite different. We used the vendor.

What gets labelled

What we refuse to publish

Corrections

Prices and terms in this category change often, which is why pages carry a date. If something here is wrong we would rather fix it than defend it, and corrections are made on the page itself.
