# Methodology and editorial policy

> How Pilotiko writes, sources, checks and updates its pages: real product statuses, verified official sources, labelled estimates, no fake reviews, no promises.

Updated on October 15, 2026 · https://app.pilotiko.com/en/methodology

Every Pilotiko page follows four rules: only present as available what really exists in the product; source every figure or label it a “Pilotiko estimate” with its calculation; date every page and review it; never publish a fake testimonial, a fake customer or a promise of results.

## How is the product status decided?

A single file describes what Pilotiko does and each capability's status: “Available” (built and tested), “Being commissioned” (code written, real provider not connected yet, nothing is sent) or “Coming soon” (not built yet). Every page shows that status; a capability only moves to “Available” with proof (a test or a trial with the real provider).

## How are sources chosen and verified?

- We prefer official sources: Quebec and Canadian governments, CNESST, regulators, official search engine and vendor documentation, competitors' official pages.
- Each source is recorded in a registry with its access date; its address is checked automatically before each publication, and a source that stops responding is flagged.
- A figure without a public source is labelled “Pilotiko estimate” and its calculation is shown.

## How are pages checked before publication?

- An automatic check reviews every page made at scale: its own data, an example or calculation, at least five real questions, verified sources, text distinct from other pages, an update date.
- A page that fails is not published: it stays out of search engines and is listed for improvement.
- Pricing pages, comparisons and studies are only published after a lawyer's review.

## How is artificial intelligence used?

AI tools help draft some pages. Each page is then checked: facts against their sources, capabilities against the product, forbidden wording removed. We publish no generated text without that check.

## How do I report an error?

Write to us through the [contact page](/en/contact) with the page address. A confirmed error is corrected and the update date changes.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Pilotiko publish customer testimonials?

Not at this time. We will only publish real testimonials, with customers' written consent.

### Are the comparisons neutral?

They are written by Pilotiko, so not neutral; they are honest: each says where the other option is better and cites the official pages consulted.

### What does “Pilotiko estimate” mean?

A figure calculated by Pilotiko from displayed assumptions, not a measurement published by an organisation. The calculation is always shown.

### How often are pages reviewed?

Main pages and prices every quarter, official rates every year, and any page as soon as an error is reported.

### Is Pilotiko paid to recommend tools?

No. No page contains affiliate links or paid placements.
