Editorial Guidelines

Facts about tools

Prices, plan limits, integrations and data-handling terms come from each vendor’s own pages and documentation, with the date they were checked. When a vendor offers only “contact sales” pricing, articles say so. Anything that can’t be confirmed from a public source is marked “couldn’t confirm” or left out. TechGenial doesn’t run benchmarks or product trials and never presents a comparison as if it had.

Confidentiality and professional rules

Each profession’s guides cite the rules that limit what can go into an AI tool. Examples include the American Bar Association’s Formal Opinion 512 on generative AI, FINRA guidance for broker-dealers, FERPA for teachers handling student records, and fair-housing rules for real estate. Where rules differ by state or regulator, the guide says so and links the source rather than summarizing it from memory.

Prompts

Published prompts are starting points. Output varies by tool, model version and the information supplied, and it can be wrong. Every prompt box reminds readers that the professional using the output remains responsible for checking it.

Choosing tools for lists

“Best” and “alternatives” pages open with their criteria. The usual ones: fit for the profession’s real tasks, data retention and training-use terms, published pricing or a note that pricing is on request, integrations with software the profession already relies on, and security documentation such as SOC 2 reports where the vendor discloses them. Tools that miss the stated criteria aren’t listed, paid or not.

Paid articles carry a “Sponsored” label at the top, and paid links are marked with rel="sponsored nofollow". A partner slot in a list is labeled, sits under the same criteria as unpaid picks and can be withdrawn if the vendor’s terms change.

Re-dating and fixing errors

AI products change quickly, so tool pages are reviewed often and re-dated when facts change. Readers can report errors to editorial@techgenial.com with a source. When an error is confirmed, the fix goes live with a note giving the date and what changed.
