How PR97 researches, writes, checks, and updates content

Scope and reader promise

PR97 publishes SaaS pricing research, procurement comparisons, calculators, and editable working files. Each page should answer a defined buyer question, disclose the evidence boundary, and give a reader something verifiable or usable.

Source priority

  1. Official vendor pricing, product, billing, help, security, legal, and status material.
  2. A buyer's dated quote, order form, and signed agreement when supplied for a private analysis.
  3. Government, standards-body, or regulator material for a control or procurement practice.
  4. Secondary sources only when they add clearly attributed context that cannot be obtained from a primary source.

Pricing standard

A published price must state or make clear the date checked, currency, unit, billing basis, and important exclusions. Public list pricing is not described as a guaranteed quote. Regional, tax, promotion, reseller, legacy-plan, quantity, and renewal differences are disclosed. Pages link to the official source used.

Comparison standard

PR97 does not rank products from feature counts alone. Comparisons define the operating scenario, normalize billable population and term, separate mandatory gates from preferences, and tell the buyer what to demonstrate or test. Hands-on claims require a documented plan, date, scenario, and limitation; otherwise the page is explicitly public-source research.

Template standard

A template page must link to a real packaged file. File format and structure are inspected during release. Public descriptions, field lists, and formulas must not promise elements absent from the file. Examples are labeled as examples, not observed buyer outcomes.

Authorship and review

Mark is responsible for writing and editorial review. PR97 does not use fictional experts or invented credentials. Material assistance from software may help with structure, consistency checks, or drafting, but publication remains subject to human review of claims, sources, calculations, internal links, and downloads.

Conflicts, advertising, and corrections

Advertising is separated from editorial decisions. A vendor cannot purchase a favorable conclusion. Material errors are corrected after verification; readers can submit the page URL, disputed text, and supporting source through the contact page. Substantive updates receive a new modified date.

Release checks

Before release, PR97 checks title and description uniqueness, one visible H1, canonical and robots directives, structured-data syntax, internal-link targets, sitemap membership, search-index scope, download integrity, source links, prohibited internal wording, and representative desktop and mobile rendering.
