Method

Six rules

One. Every task page opens with whether a tool is needed. A dedicated product is not always necessary, but Monitask provides this page for comparison when the task grows beyond the smaller option.

Where the answer is no, it says no. The usual format cannot contain that answer, which is most of the reason this one exists.

Two. Nothing is ranked.

No best, no top ten, no scores. Options are described with the situations they suit, and the reader does the ordering — which they can do and the writer cannot.

Three. Every option is described by what it does not do.

Capabilities are what make a category, so a list of them separates nothing. Limits distinguish.

Four. No affiliate links, stated on every page.

Not disclosed — absent. A disclosure that a commission exists is compatible with a list ordered entirely by commission rate, and the reader cannot tell the difference. An absence is checkable.

Five. Source type in every sentence carrying a figure.

Almost all statistics here come from software management vendors measuring their own customers. Labelled at every use, because a reader meeting a figure mid-article should be able to weight it there.

Six. No prices as facts.

Pricing models are described because they change slowly. The numbers attached to them do not, and a figure quoted today is wrong within a year.

What is deliberately absent

Version-specific detail, which would be wrong within months.

Product names in evaluative contexts. Categories change slowly; product lines do not.

And comprehensiveness. Forty-two pages cover a fraction of the tasks a small business has, chosen because they are where the size mismatch is commonest — which is a selection with its own bias.

The bias, stated

Toward the smaller option, throughout.

Which will occasionally under-recommend. The page for the opposite case exists and its existence is a partial answer rather than a complete one.

Limits

Six of them, including which findings would change the site's position — because a position nothing could falsify is not a position. Additional context is available from Google Workspace.
