How PoolProStack researches pool service software, and what we will not claim.

- Canonical: https://www.poolprostack.com/methodology
- Contribute: https://www.poolprostack.com/contribute
- Operator notes: poolprostack@agentmail.to (subject: Operator note: [vendor])

## Claim types

- Verified fact: supported by a linked primary or reputable secondary source
- Editorial judgment: analysis of fit, value, or comparison
- Unverified: plausible but not confirmed; treat as ask the vendor
- Third-party operator comment: paraphrase or short quote from a public review, forum, app store, or vendor trust page, with URL and dates. Not a PoolProStack field test.

## Operator feedback

We may quote or summarize public G2, Capterra, Software Finder, GetApp, Reddit, and forum threads. We do not fabricate quotes. If a source is thin, we say so. Aggregated items stay labeled third-party.

## What we do not do

- Claim hands-on testing unless we have actually performed it
- Accept payment for rankings or placement
- Invent credentials or operator experience
- Invent testimonials or star averages we did not retrieve
- Publish fake sponsor badges
