Evaluation Methodology

How Useful Mint tests, sources, compares, and updates information about AI website and app builders.

Evidence levels

Product claims are labeled internally using three evidence levels:

  • Tested: reproduced by Useful Mint in a real project or controlled test.
  • Documentation verified: confirmed against a current first-party source.
  • Unverified: a candidate claim that must not be published as fact.

Standard comparison fields

Builder comparisons prioritize code ownership and export, GitHub workflows, hosting, authentication, payments, database options, custom domains, recurring cost, support, and migration constraints. The same field definition is used across builders whenever possible.

Testing and updates

Each substantive page records a reviewed date. Fast-changing pricing and capability claims receive shorter review intervals. When a claim cannot be reproduced or sourced, it is removed, qualified, or marked as unknown rather than inferred by an AI model.

Corrections

Corrections can be sent to support@usefulmint.com. Vendor feedback is welcome when it points to reproducible evidence, but vendors do not receive editorial approval rights.
