Editorial methodology

How every claim on dilynx is researched, sourced and reviewed — and why you can rely on it.

1. Capabilities come first

We describe the finance function as the outcomes a team needs and the capabilities that deliver them. Vendors are then measured against those capabilities — never the reverse. This keeps the analysis about your problem, not a vendor's marketing.

2. No claim without a source

Every statement that a vendor supports a capability is recorded as a discrete, cited claim with a support level (strong · moderate · limited) and a link to the evidence behind it. If we can't cite it, we don't publish it.

3. Confidence is earned, not asserted

A claim is only marked high confidence when independent sources agree. A single source caps confidence at medium. Where credible sources disagree, we show it rather than average it away.

4. Consistent and explainable

Recommendations are produced the same way every time. The same situation always yields the same recommendation, and every recommendation can be traced back to the claims and sources behind it. There is no black box and no generative guesswork.

5. Corrections

If you believe a claim is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will review the source and update it. Provenance makes corrections fast and auditable.
