Source & Reference Policy

How Sentrly sources information

Every guide, comparison, and review we publish is grounded in primary sources first: official vendor documentation, published technical specifications, peer-reviewed research, government advisories, and our own hands-on testing. Secondary reporting is used to add context — never as the sole basis for a factual claim.

Where a claim depends on a number, we link to the originating source. If we can't verify a number against a primary source, we leave it out — even if it would make the article punchier.

Things we do not do

We do not invent statistics. If you read a percentage on this site, it is either traceable to a named source or comes from our own published methodology.

We do not paraphrase competitor articles. Our research process starts with the official source and the product itself, not with whatever already ranks for the keyword.

We do not present sponsored content as editorial. Anything paid for is labelled clearly at the top of the page, in addition to our standing affiliate disclosure.

Pricing, features, and product claims

Software pricing and features change frequently. Where we mention a price, plan, or feature, we verify it on the vendor's official website on the date the guide is published or updated. Even so, you should re-check on the vendor's site before subscribing.

For product reviews, we check the vendor's current documentation before publishing or updating, and re-test the workflows we describe. If a product changes materially after publication, we update the guide and note the change in our changelog.

How to flag a sourcing issue

If you believe a claim on this site is incorrect, undersourced, or outdated, please email us with "Source query" in the subject line. We respond to sourcing queries within five working days and update or remove the claim if we cannot stand behind it. See our Correction Policy for what happens after that.
