Editorial standards

A figure is cited from the publication that produced it: the study, the survey report, the vendor's own documentation, the law. A summary of a study is used only when the study itself is not public, and the page says so. A survey a vendor ran is labelled as a vendor study, and a German page marks an English source as English.

Each external figure names its source and the source's year where it stands, and the sources list carries the date someone last opened the source and compared the figure. A later edit to the page does not move that date; only a new check does.

Where a page draws a conclusion from a figure, the conclusion is marked as Reality Graph's reading and is never put in the source's mouth. Articles whose figures were counted in a check show it under their date: when the sources were checked and how many sourced figures the page carries.

A figure that three or more pages use lives once, in the figure register on the AI code statistics page, which links its primary source with the check date. The other pages name the source and year in the sentence and link that register, so a corrected value changes everywhere at once.

Prices, plan names, deployment options and data handling of other tools change often. The articles state them as what the vendor documents, with the date of the check, and re-check them at least every three months. A fact the vendor no longer documents is removed, not kept with an old date.

Links to studies, documentation, standards, laws and press releases are citations and are followed. Links to a competitor's product, pricing, feature or security page carry rel="nofollow": the articles describe those tools, they do not endorse them. The coding agents Reality Graph works beside, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and OpenAI Codex, are partners, and their product pages are followed.

Every statement about Reality Graph follows one registry of what ships. A capability that ships is described in the present tense. A capability in development carries a badge that names the milestone it arrives with, such as “Team plan”, and no date. A capability that is not planned is not mentioned.

No vendor pays to be mentioned, ranked or linked, and no link on this site earns a commission. Reality Graph is itself a product in this market, so the comparison pages also say where another tool is the better choice.

Philip Schenk-Hana, who builds Reality Graph, writes and checks every article. Background and current work are on the author page.
