How We Review AI Tools at AIToolzDeck

A useful directory should tell readers what has been checked, not merely present polished claims.

1. Define the workflow

Each review starts by identifying the audience, intended task, inputs, outputs, and practical decision criteria.

2. Separate research from testing

Editorial research can explain positioning and intended use. It cannot substitute for direct use, so hands-on status remains pending until a real test is completed.

3. Date changeable facts

Pricing, plan limits, and features can change. We show the relevant check date or a pending label rather than implying a level of certainty we do not have.

4. Publish the limits

Every tool has trade-offs. Future hands-on reviews will document test conditions, observed strengths, constraints, and the type of user most likely to benefit.
