Methodology
How we test AI tools
Every score on Trend Flow Tech comes from the same five-pillar rubric. We publish it openly so you can decide whether to trust our results.
01
Real-work testing
Every tool is used for at least 14 days on actual jobs from our consultancy clients — not demo sandboxes.
02
Scoring rubric
Five dimensions, each on a 1–5 scale: features, ease of use, value, support, performance. Sub-scores published on every review.
03
Editorial independence
Affiliate commissions never influence rankings. We refuse paid placements and disclose every commercial relationship.
04
Continuous re-testing
Top tools are re-scored every 90 days. Major releases get a flagged update within 7 days.
05
Reader feedback loop
