BestSift / Our standards

How we research

How BestSift uses official sources, develops practical checklists, and explains its research limits.

Start with a buyer's decision

Each guide addresses a concrete question: whether a workout plan fits your routine, what a website quote includes, which files a logo project needs, or how to review a delivery. We build the guidance around the inputs, tradeoffs, and acceptance checks that help answer it.

Use sources for facts

We use Fiverr's official help and legal pages for platform workflows and terms, and primary technical documentation such as W3C, WordPress, and Adobe where relevant. Specific-service guides also use the seller’s public listing as evidence of what is advertised, not proof of delivery quality. Each guide lists its sources and verification date. Where listing sections differ, we identify the uncertainty and suggest a question rather than invent an answer. Project checklists and suggested questions are BestSift's editorial recommendations.

Explain the research limits

AI assists with research organization and drafting. We check referenced information, consistency, and unsupported claims; generated text is not itself evidence. Our current guides are research-based, without firsthand purchases or testing of individual services. We do not rank freelancers or infer their quality from search position.

Make examples useful

Worked briefs use clearly labeled fictional projects. Their budgets, quantities, and schedules are planning assumptions, not seller quotes, market benchmarks, or client results. Use them to understand a decision, then agree your own requirements with the freelancer.

Keep the guidance checkable

Consult the linked official documentation and current offer before purchasing. When a platform fact changes, we revise the affected guidance and its verification date. Send possible errors through our contact page; our editorial policy explains corrections and commercial-link standards.
