How the index works

A catalog built for decisions, not rankings.

Commercial relationships can fund the research. They never change product status, fit, limitations, evidence, or the alternatives we show.

Verify what exists

We check availability, product direction, pricing signals, and when the supporting evidence was last reviewed.

Evaluate operational fit

We assess the work it supports, integration requirements, ownership, risk, and where human judgment remains necessary.

Keep the comparison honest

Commercial relationships are disclosed, while credible limitations and alternatives stay visible.
