Editorial policy
How Echoprysm decides what to write about, how reviews are scored, and how we handle conflicts of interest.
This page describes how the Echoprysm editorial team works. We update it whenever our process changes.
How we choose what to cover
We pick topics based on real questions from readers, our own experience using the tools, and gaps in existing coverage. We do not accept payment for selecting topics.
How we test
For every reviewed app or service we:
- Use the product for at least one full work session before writing about it.
- Document concrete pros and cons we observed, not generic marketing claims.
- Verify pricing and availability against the vendor’s official site at publication time.
Sources and citations
Where we make a factual claim, we link to the source. Where we cite a number, we link to the page where it can be verified.
Affiliate links and sponsorships
Some links may be affiliate links, meaning we earn a small commission if you sign up. Affiliate status never affects our recommendation. Sponsored content, if any, is clearly labelled at the top of the article.
Corrections
If you find an error, write to hello@echoprysm.com. We will correct the article and add a note at the bottom describing what changed.
AI usage
We may use AI tools to brainstorm outlines or check grammar, but published pages are checked against source, QA and correction standards before they are treated as editorial work.
AI-assisted editorial workflow
Some Echoprysm drafts, checklists and localisation work may be prepared with AI-assisted editorial tools. The published responsibility remains with Echoprysm: pages must pass automated QA, source checks and manual approval when a page makes review, pricing, legal, security or current-event claims. We separate hands-on reviews from public-evidence reviews, buyer checklists and local compliance guides. If we did not access a live dashboard, we say so and explain what we could not verify.
Methodology types
- Hands-on review: product access or workflow testing happened and limitations are stated.
- Public-evidence review: public pages, docs and claims checked; no private dashboard access.
- Buyer checklist: practical verification workflow for a product category.
- Local compliance guide: informational guide, not legal or tax advice.
Corrections
Readers can report errors through the contact page. Material corrections are reviewed and updated with visible date/context when needed.
