Editorial methodology
How Jurisdica reviews professional AI tools
Jurisdica is built around the questions lawyers, accountants, and firm operators ask before trusting an AI tool with client-facing work.
What We Check
Each listing is structured around professional adoption risk, not generic software popularity.
Pricing clarity
We check public pricing pages, trial language, plan gates, and enterprise-only requirements before summarizing cost expectations.
Security claims
We surface SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, encryption, data residency, and retention claims only when a vendor source or public trust page supports them.
Jurisdiction fit
US state, EU country, and professional-body guidance are tracked as first-class adoption signals, not buried footnotes.
Workflow relevance
Tools are grouped by the professional jobs they support: research, drafting, eDiscovery, audit, CAS, tax, AP, reporting, and practice management.
Professional risk
We flag supervision, confidentiality, privilege, audit trail, data handling, and human review considerations where they affect adoption.
Review freshness
Cards and tool pages show freshness cues so visitors can tell when a listing was last checked.
Review Process
Step 1
Source review
We read vendor security pages, privacy policies, product pages, trust centers, pricing pages, and public professional guidance.
Step 2
Claim classification
Claims are marked as confirmed, vendor-stated, not confirmed, or not applicable. We avoid implying regulatory approval when guidance is general.
Step 3
Directory update
Verified fields are added to the structured listing, while unresolved details remain neutral until a better source is available.
Step 4
Ongoing review
High-risk fields such as pricing, security, and jurisdiction guidance are prioritized for rolling review as vendors and regulators change.
Editorial Policies
Conflict policy
Jurisdica does not let sponsorships override editorial ratings, compliance notes, or methodology language. Sponsored placement must be labeled.
Sponsored placement policy
Paid placements may affect visibility, but they do not affect whether a tool is approved, how it is rated, or how its compliance and jurisdiction data is described.
Vendor disputes
Vendors can report incorrect data or claim listings, but editorial assessments remain controlled by Jurisdica. We review source-backed corrections first.
What "last reviewed" means
A last-reviewed date means at least one meaningful listing field or source was checked. It does not mean every vendor claim was re-audited that day.
Correction requests
Readers can report incorrect data through the contact form using the "Report incorrect data" subject and a source URL.
What Jurisdica is not
Jurisdica is not legal, accounting, tax, or financial advice. We provide structured directory intelligence to support professional evaluation, but final vendor selection, ethics review, security assessment, and client-use approval remain with your organization.
