This policy describes the standards LastDatabase aims to apply to educational articles, research reports, comparisons, methodology documents and other informational content.
Quantitative claims should be supported by identifiable evidence. Where we publish an original benchmark or study, the report should explain the methodology necessary to interpret the result.
We do not intend to present an estimated marketing figure as though it were the result of a documented scientific or statistical test.
Original research should disclose relevant information such as:
Important research and educational content should identify an author or responsible editorial source where appropriate. Material requiring specialist review should identify that review only when a real review has taken place.
LastDatabase will not fabricate author biographies, qualifications or reviewer identities.
When an article depends on external facts, laws, technical standards or third-party research, primary or authoritative sources should be used where reasonably available.
Product and provider comparisons should distinguish factual, independently verifiable information from LastDatabase's own assessment.
Competitor pricing, features, coverage or policies should not be invented. Time-sensitive comparison information should include an appropriate verification or update date.
LastDatabase sells data products and services. Content discussing LastDatabase products therefore has an inherent commercial connection to the company and should not be presented as independent third-party evaluation.
Material factual errors identified in published informational content should be reviewed and corrected where appropriate.
To report a potential factual error, contact support@lastdatabase.com.
Automated tools may assist research, drafting, formatting or analysis, but important factual claims should not be published solely because an automated system generated them. Material claims should be checked against appropriate evidence before publication.
