Editorial policy

Clear definitions require clear standards. Our work separates category arguments from independently verifiable facts.

Affiliation: The Sales Management Platform is published by Repcora, the company building Valira, a commercial sales management platform. We work in the category we write about, and we disclose that relationship instead of writing around it.

Reader-first coverage: Coverage is written for readers, not to make our product win. The SMP framework is our proposed operating model and is labeled as such, so readers can separate our argument from independently verifiable evidence.

Sourcing: External factual claims should be supported by primary or authoritative sources. Proposed frameworks and editorial interpretations are labeled as such.

Corrections: Material errors will be corrected promptly, with a visible note when the change affects the substance of an article.

Research: Findings will not be published without a documented methodology, defined sample, limitations, and source notes. We do not invent benchmark data.

Vendor treatment: Directory inclusion will use published criteria applied identically to every platform — including Valira. V1 has no scores, paid rankings, or commercial placement, and our own product receives no special treatment.

AI in the workflow: AI tools may support research organization, drafting, and quality checks. Editors remain responsible for verification, judgment, sourcing, and final publication.
