We apply the Software Fit Standard: start with a buyer job, define the evidence boundary and publish reasons to choose and reject. Payment cannot change the result.
1. A URL must own a distinct decision
We reject pages that merely exchange a vendor, industry or company-size variable without changing the workflow, exception, criteria and conclusion.
2. Evidence hierarchy
- Regulators, statutes and standards bodies for requirements.
- Official vendor documentation for product claims.
- A documented, reproducible test only when one was actually run.
- Secondary review platforms for market orientation, never as our factual source of record.
3. Criteria for Employee time tracking platforms
- Worked time versus billable and project time
- Timer, time clock, kiosk, and manual entry models
- Timesheet review, approval, correction, and lock workflow
- Overtime, rounding, break, and exception inputs
- GPS, geofencing, mileage, and offline capture
- Screenshots, activity signals, app and URL tracking, and employee notice
- Job, task, client, cost code, and location dimensions
- Payroll, accounting, project, and invoicing handoffs
- Mobile reliability and shared-device operation
- Roles, audit history, retention, export, and deletion controls
- Implementation, adoption, and manager review effort
- Vendor support and data portability
4. No false precision
We do not invent ratings, review counts, customer counts or prices. A feature labeled compliant by a vendor remains a vendor claim unless the relevant authority proves the conclusion.
5. Commercial separation
A paying partner may receive a clearly disclosed direct link, with the relationship stated near the placement. Payment does not buy a verdict, criterion, inclusion or rank.
6. Maintenance
Sources carry a verification date. Product, pricing and regulatory changes reopen the affected page rather than silently changing a network-wide template. See the public framework changelog.
Applying the Software Fit Standard is an editorial commitment, not an official certification, accreditation, product approval or guarantee of end-to-end testing.
