Our Methodology
At Compare Fathom, we believe in transparency and educational value. Our comparison methodology is designed to provide factual, unbiased information to help users understand their options without pressure or hidden agendas.
Research Process
1. Information Gathering
We collect information from publicly available sources including:
- Official product websites and documentation
- Published feature lists and specifications
- Publicly available pricing information
- User reviews and community discussions
- Industry reports and analyses
2. Verification Process
All information is cross-referenced across multiple sources to ensure accuracy. We focus on:
- Factual feature comparisons
- Publicly stated pricing structures
- Official product capabilities
- Target audience information
3. Neutral Analysis
Our analysis aims to be educational rather than persuasive:
- We present both advantages and considerations for each option
- We avoid ranking products as "best" or "worst"
- We focus on different use cases and needs
- We do not make purchase recommendations
