Fact-Checking Policy
Last updated: June 2025
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Accuracy is non-negotiable at PickyAI. In a space where product claims are often exaggerated and capabilities change weekly, we hold ourselves to a rigorous standard of factual verification before any claim reaches publication.
Every claim we publish about an AI tool — its pricing, capabilities, limitations, and benchmarks — goes through a fact-checking process before publication. This page explains exactly how that works.
What We Fact-Check
- Pricing information — Verified directly from the vendor's pricing page at the time of publication
- Feature claims — Verified by hands-on testing or from official documentation
- Benchmark comparisons — Cross-referenced against multiple independent sources
- Company background — Verified from official company announcements and credible press coverage
- Statistical claims — Traced back to primary sources; we do not repeat unverifiable statistics
- Legal and compliance claims — Reviewed against publicly available documentation
Our Verification Process
Primary source first
Where possible, we go directly to the source: the tool's official documentation, pricing page, API reference, or official blog posts. Secondary sources are used to corroborate, not as a primary reference.
Hands-on verification
Claims about capability are tested in practice, not taken from marketing materials. If we say a model supports 200,000 tokens, we have tested that context window.
Date-stamping
All facts are verified at a specific date. Rapidly changing information (pricing, rate limits, model versions) is flagged with a verification date.
Editorial review
A second editor reviews factual claims in all published reviews before they go live. News articles are also reviewed for factual accuracy.
How We Handle Corrections
We are human and we make mistakes. When we publish an error — factual, technical, or representational — we correct it promptly and transparently.
Our corrections policy:
- Corrections are made to the live article as quickly as possible once verified
- A clearly labeled correction note is added to the bottom of the article explaining what changed and why
- We do not silently delete incorrect content — it is replaced with accurate information and the change is noted
- For significant errors, we may publish a correction notice on our social channels
- The article's "Updated" timestamp is revised to reflect when the correction was made
Reporting an Error
If you believe something we've published is factually incorrect, please tell us. We take all correction requests seriously and investigate promptly.
To report an error:
- Use our contact form and select "Correction or Feedback"
- Email us at contact@pickyai.xyz with the article URL and specific claim in question
- Include a source or reference for the correct information if possible
We aim to respond to all correction requests within one business day.
Limitations & Opinions
Our reviews contain both factual claims and editorial opinions. Scores, rankings, and verdicts are opinions based on our testing methodology — they are not objective facts, and reasonable people may disagree with them.
We distinguish between factual errors (which we correct) and differences of opinion (which we welcome debating). If you disagree with our verdict, we encourage you to share your perspective.
