Disclosure
AIAutomationStacks may earn money from some commercial links, but affiliate mechanics must stay separate from inclusion, ordering, verdict language, and editorial fit. This page explains the separation.
Section 01
Affiliate Links
Some outbound links on AIAutomationStacks may be affiliate links. If a reader subscribes or purchases through those links, AIAutomationStacks may earn a commission.
Affiliate links are commercial routing, not editorial proof. A paid relationship does not make a tool a better fit, safer default, or higher-ranked stack component.
Label
Affiliate links should be disclosed
Commercial links should be identifiable where they appear and should not be disguised as neutral editorial evidence.
Rel
Sponsored links stay marked
Affiliate destinations should use appropriate sponsored or nofollow link treatment where the site renders them.
Fit
Commercial status is not a fit signal
Affiliate availability should not decide whether a tool belongs in a stack or how the recommendation is ordered.
Review
Humans control commercial activation
Affiliate destinations should remain absent until reviewed and added intentionally rather than generated as a placeholder.
Section 02
Editorial Independence
The editorial goal is to help readers narrow a credible stack shortlist. Inclusion, page structure, comparison framing, and verdict language should be driven by reader utility and decision quality rather than link economics.
This does not mean every judgment is perfect. It means the editorial method should make the reason for a recommendation visible enough that readers can inspect, challenge, or correct it.
- A tool can be included without an affiliate link.
- A tool can be excluded even if a commercial program exists.
- A stack recommendation should explain fit, cost, owner burden, and risk before any commercial action.
Section 03
What Readers Should Expect
Readers should treat AIAutomationStacks as a decision aid, not a substitute for vendor confirmation. Software facts, product positioning, pricing, and contract terms can change.
When a page looks wrong, incomplete, or commercially biased, readers should send the page URL and the specific claim to review. Corrections are part of keeping the method honest.
- Expect clear disclosure when affiliate links are present.
- Expect pricing and commercial details to be confirmed directly with vendors before purchase.
- Use the methodology page to understand how structured judgments are formed.
