This policy explains how Tech Sparking researches, writes, reviews and corrects its journalism. It exists so readers can judge our work, and so contributors know the standard before they file.
Sourcing
Every factual claim that could be wrong carries a source a reader can check: a vendor’s documentation, a standards body, a research paper, a public filing, or a first-hand test we ran. Where the only available information is a rumour or a leak, we label it as such in plain words — “reported”, “rumoured” — rather than dressing it up as fact.
Testing and first-hand experience
Where a guide involves settings, installations or configurations, we verify the steps ourselves and describe what we saw. When we cannot test something — because it needs hardware we don’t have, or a service we can’t access — we say so instead of implying we did.
AI use
We may use AI tools for drafting support, structuring and translation. Every published article is reviewed by a human editor who verifies the claims, the sources and the recommendations. AI is never used as the final authority on a factual statement, and no article is published straight from a model’s output.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we correct it and note that a correction was made. Silent edits on substantive claims are not acceptable to us. Send corrections through the contact page with the article link.
Independence
We do not sell placements inside guides or accept payment for positive coverage. Affiliate links, where they exist, are disclosed and never determine a verdict. See our affiliate disclosure and disclaimer for the details.
