Atop Legal publishes independent, evidence-based reviews of online marketplaces. This editorial policy sets out the standards every review must meet — documented assessment, verifiable evidence, transparent scoring, clear dates, and prompt corrections — and guarantees that our Trust Scores are never influenced by advertisers or affiliate partners.
Our Standards
Every review published on Atop Legal follows these editorial standards:
- Evidence-led assessment: Every platform is assessed across five trust dimensions using verifiable evidence — technical checks, business records and aggregated user feedback — plus hands-on checks where possible. The scope and date are disclosed in each review.
- Verifiable claims: Statements are supported by documented sources, data, or references readers can check for themselves.
- Transparent methodology: Our Trust Score methodology is publicly documented.
- Accountable authorship: Every review is published by the Atop Legal Editorial Team under a single, documented review process — no anonymous or AI-spun content.
- Regular updates: Reviews display their last-updated date and are refreshed when platforms change significantly.
- Corrections: If we make an error, we correct it promptly and note the correction in the article.
Corrections & Updates
Reviews are living documents. Each one shows a last-updated date and is revised when a platform changes significantly or new evidence emerges. If you spot an error, email contact@atoplegal.com with supporting evidence — verified corrections are made promptly and noted in the article.
Independence from Advertisers
