About and editorial standards

Stack Scorecard is an independent publication that scores workflow-automation tools so small teams can pick with evidence, not vibes. The desk is built in public: methodology first, rankings only when the table is finished.

What this is

A static editorial site. No membership wall, no “community” we do not operate, no invented masthead. Correspondence goes to [email protected]. The desk operates from Canada. That is a jurisdiction, not a Canada-only product.

What we cover

We cover the operator stack: Make, n8n, Zapier, Notion, Coda, Airtable, and agent tooling that ships work. Canadian CAD, tax, and privacy notes are an edge on the scorecard — spice, not the meal.

Editorial standards

01

Label unfinished cards

If rankings are not ready, the page says so in plain type. We do not hide a “winner” in the URL, the title, or the alt text.

02

Publish the method

Criteria and weights live on Methodology before scores do.

03

Original tables

We do not scrape other affiliates or remix “best AI tools” posts. If a number is ours, we can show the working.

04

No fake social proof

No testimonials we did not receive. No invented user counts. No stock-photo “operators.”

05

Money is disclosed

Affiliate, sponsor, or gift access is named. Money does not move a score. See Affiliate disclosure.

06

Corrections are visible

Factual errors get a dated note on the page we got wrong, not a silent edit. Email [email protected] with a source.

07

Not counsel

Tax, legal, and privacy notes are operator-facing summaries of public vendor material. They are not advice.

Independence

No vendor owns this site. We have not taken a founding sponsor. If that changes, it will be written here and on the disclosure page in the same week, not in a footer nobody reads.

Voice

Precise. Anti-hype. Prefer an empty cell to a confident adjective. If a sentence could run as an ad, it does not run here.
