Our methodology

# Make the evidence visible.

PreCheck is designed as an orientation and diligence aid—not a certification, vendor endorsement, or substitute for campus procurement processes.

### 1. Scope and categorization

Group vendors by buyer workflow and use case. Overlapping categories are expected.

### 2. Source verification

Use product documentation, official announcements, vendor responses and institutional references when available; date important claims.

### 3. Comparative questions

Frame differences around use case, integration, implementation, data governance, accessibility and total cost.

### 4. Corrections

Invite factual corrections through hello@edtechprecheck.com and reassess material changes.

## Our disclosure principles

No current vendor rankings, sponsorship claims, certifications, independently verified performance ratings or formal risk scores are asserted on this site. Any future commercial relationships should be labeled beside relevant content. An institution should independently validate vendor claims and complete its own purchasing reviews.
