Our methodology
Transparency matters more than pretending to be bigger than we are. Here is the current editorial approach behind WorthTryingAI.
How tools are selected
WorthTryingAI reviews a mix of founder submissions, launch feeds, and editorial picks.
The project is still early, so coverage is intentionally selective rather than comprehensive.
Tools are prioritized when they appear useful, differentiated, or relevant to practical workflows such as coding, research, automation, data, or productivity.
How verdicts are decided
Each reviewed tool receives one of three verdicts: Try, Watch, or Skip.
Try means the tool appears useful enough to recommend now. Watch means it is promising but not yet a strong recommendation. Skip means it does not justify attention relative to alternatives.
Verdicts are editorial judgments, not objective scores. The site aims to be useful and honest, not artificially precise.
How sponsored placements are labeled
If sponsorship is present, it should be clearly labeled as sponsored or promoted.
Editorial verdicts and promotional placements are intended to remain separate.
In this MVP stage, not every future sponsorship workflow is fully operational yet, so the site avoids making stronger claims than it can currently support.
How often tools are re-checked
Reviewed dates and last-checked dates are shown on tool pages.
The update process is still evolving, so some sample content may be refreshed manually first before a full editorial system is added.
As the product matures, re-checking should become more systematic for Watch and Try verdicts.
Editorial independence statement
WorthTryingAI aims to disclose sponsored and affiliate relationships clearly whenever they exist.
The site should not promise a positive verdict in exchange for payment.
Because this project is still early, transparency is more important than pretending every process is already fully scaled.
