Editorial policy

Every ScopeToSign page must clear a five-point gate before it ships: an original product artifact, a stated position, a founder byline where trade claims appear, a one-sentence information-gain answer, and numbers that are ours or cited. This page states that gate, our correction policy, and how AI is used in drafting — in plain language.

The five-point gate

  1. 1

    At least one original product artifact

    A real screenshot, a generated sample estimate, a pack data table, or a benchmark — produced by the actual product, not a stock image or a competitor’s marketing.

  2. 2

    A stated position a competitor page wouldn’t take

    We say who a tool is not for, where we lose, and when a different product fits you better. A page with no opinion doesn’t ship.

  3. 3

    A founder byline wherever trade claims appear

    Every page that makes a trade claim is written under the founder’s name — builder credibility, never implied trade experience — and states plainly that its numbers are researched defaults, computed by the engine and yours to adjust.

  4. 4

    The information-gain test, answered in one sentence

    What does this page know that the current page-one results don’t? If we can’t answer that in a sentence, the page isn’t worth publishing.

  5. 5

    Every number is ours or cited

    A figure is either real output from our engine and packs, or it carries a source. No invented statistics, no fabricated testimonials, no fake logos.

Cadence is an output of this bar, not a target: one page that clears all five beats three that don’t.

Byline & sourcing policy

Every page is written under one name: the founder, who builds the software and the packs. That credibility is software credibility — never implied trade experience. Where a page makes a trade claim, it says plainly that the numbers are researched defaults, computed by the engine, and the contractor’s to adjust in their own price book.

Written by Ashesh Dhakal · The numbers are real resolver output; every price is yours to adjust in your own price book.

Every dollar figure on the site is either real output from our engine and packs or carries a citation to its source. No number is invented, and no endorsement is implied by anyone who didn’t give one.

How AI is used in drafting

AI drafts against proprietary inputs — our packs, our engine output, our screenshots. The founder then edits for voice and verifies every claim. AI never sets a price anywhere in the product or the content, and no page is published straight from a model without a human editing it and checking the facts.

Corrections & our no-fabrication commitment

Corrections

Found a number that looks wrong, or a claim about another tool that’s out of date? Email support@scopetosign.com. We correct factual errors promptly and note the change date on the page. Competitor comparisons are kept factual, and corrections are welcome.

No fabricated reviews, ever

We publish no fake reviews, no invented testimonials, and no Review or rating markup until real customer reviews exist. When we quote a customer, they are real and named.

Where our default numbers come from and how scenarios are computed is documented on our data & methodology page.
