Editorial framework · Version 1.0Effective August 6, 2026
Software FitStandard

A public editorial framework

Software decisions built around fit, not hype.

The Software Fit Standard makes the rules behind eight independent US buying guides inspectable: distinct intent, bounded evidence, visible non-fit, dated claims and commercial separation.

This is an editorial commitment — not an official certification, accreditation, product approval or guarantee of end-to-end testing.

The operating manual

Inspect the rules, not just the verdict.

Buyers should be able to see how evidence was selected, what a conclusion does not prove and whether commercial support could affect placement.

Current adoption

Eight guides. Market-specific criteria. One public contract.
