Evaluation guide · Policy reviewed 21 September 2026

Compare the evidence.
Then choose the fit.

Start with the work your team needs to do. Use the same buyer questions, markets and requirements when you evaluate Heading alongside another AI search platform.

Choose a comparison.

Detailed reviews are published after their facts and sources are checked. We do not present an unfinished review as a verdict.

Try a bounded evaluation.

This is a suggested process, not a published vendor benchmark.

  1. Select five buyer questions and record their exact wording and market.
  2. Ask each provider to show how its product collects those questions on comparable platforms and dates.
  3. Inspect one answer with a mention, one citation-only case and one absent or failed result. If a case is unavailable, mark it untested.
  4. Have the person who will use the software complete one review and prepare one follow-up task.
  5. Record the plan, limits, billing interval and total quoted cost. Choose based on the requirements that matter to your team.

Worked decision: If one product shows more platforms but cannot expose the source evidence your client reviews require, more coverage alone does not settle the choice. Record “source inspection unverified” until a demonstration resolves it. Do not turn an unanswered question into a claim that the feature is absent.

How we verify a comparison.

  • Identify the source. Link to official documentation, pricing or a dated product demonstration for each material claim.
  • Keep dates and plans attached. State when a fact was checked and which plan, market or billing interval it applies to.
  • Label uncertainty. Distinguish tested, documented and unverified capabilities. Missing documentation is not proof of a missing feature.
  • State the tradeoffs. Describe where another product may be a better fit. A vendor comparison is not an independent review.
  • Recheck before publication. Revisit sources before release and when a material product or pricing change is identified.

Heading writes these comparisons and has a commercial interest in the outcome. If you find an error, contact us with the source so we can check it.
