Internal Standards

The ethical and technical benchmarks governing OpenRevs assessments.

Code of Objectivity

All reviews must remain detached from commercial pressure. We do not accept paid "positive reviews." An assessment is valid only if it is rigorous and independent.

Technical Veracity

Claimed technical capabilities must be demonstrable. We judge products based on their structural reality, not their marketing abstractions.

Clarity as Content

We hold that complexity is often a mask for deficiency. A truly excellent product communicates its value and architecture with surgical clarity.

Institutional Responsibility

We bear the responsibility of our judgment. Every review issued is an artifact of our institutional history and must meet our baseline for excellence.
