How these pages work

Tested where possible, labelled where not.

Real tasks

Tests use work from my own projects: a feature in a live product, a German correction, a structured extraction. A page only says "tested" for what I actually ran.

Sources and dates

Product facts link to the vendor's own documentation. Prices come from the vendor's pricing page, "as of" the day I read it. Benchmarks carry their name and date.

No affiliate links

Nobody pays for a placement, and the links are plain links. Where my own skills fit a tool, the page says so and names them as mine.
