Commercial disclosures

How commercial relationships and editorial inclusion are handled.

Current status

This build contains no paid placements, affiliate tracking links, sponsored rankings or vendor commissions. Vendor links go to official destinations. FactoryShortlist is not affiliated with the products listed.

If commercial relationships are introduced

Any affiliate or sponsored relationship must be disclosed alongside the relevant link or placement before publication. Payment must not silently change evidence labels, comparison conclusions or alphabetical directory order. A vendor introduction requires a separate, explicit request; a follow-up opt-in does not permit sharing an email with a vendor.

Decision responsibility

Vendor descriptions and commercial offers can change. Confirm capabilities, licensing, implementation, security requirements and support directly with shortlisted vendors. Our original evaluation guidance is a starting point for that conversation.
