Who is responsible
Every article on SpaceStack is owned by a named editor — Daniel P., Tech Lead Senior Software Engineer based in Oslo, Norway. The editor is accountable for what is published: claims, recommendations, links and corrections. Reach the editor at [email protected].
What we cover
SpaceStack focuses on the technical and operational decisions small teams actually face: security workflows, identity and access, automation choices, software selection frameworks, and plain-English explainers of the SaaS terms a small team has to understand to operate.
We deliberately stay out of topics where we cannot bring useful primary experience or strong domain authority — for example, payroll, accounting and HR-specific advice. When we touch an adjacent area, we keep the framing decision-oriented (what to ask, how to compare, how to avoid common traps) rather than impersonating domain expertise we do not have.
How an article gets written
- Scoping. Pick a concrete decision a small team would actually make this quarter. If we cannot describe the reader's situation in one sentence, the article is not ready.
- Research. Read official vendor docs, vendor pricing pages, recent independent reviews, community threads and the editor's own notes. Capture the short-list of trade-offs.
- Drafting. Produce a structured first draft. AI tools are part of this step — see the next section.
- Editing. The editor revises every paragraph for voice, accuracy and for trimming what an LLM tends to over-write. Numbers, claims and product details are re-checked against current vendor pages.
- Publishing. Each article ships with a named author, a clear update date and a route back to this methodology page.
- Revisiting. Pricing, plan tiers and product positioning move. We aim to revisit each article every 6–12 months and bump its Updated date when we do.
How AI fits in
We use modern AI assistants (LLMs) as a research and drafting tool. They help us outline, summarize source material and produce a first pass faster than blank-page writing. They do not replace editorial judgment.
The rules we follow:
- Every article is reviewed by a human editor before publishing. No article is published unedited from a model's output.
- Specific claims (prices, percentages, comparative statements) are verified against the vendor's current page or a trustworthy primary source. We remove or rewrite anything we cannot stand behind.
- We do not invent personas, fake reviews or fake case studies. If an article does not have firsthand experience to lean on, it sticks to decision frameworks and clearly labeled community research.
- We do not use AI to mass-produce thin content. Each article exists to help a specific reader make a specific decision.
Independence
SpaceStack is funded primarily by display advertising and may include clearly labeled affiliate links over time. We do not take payment for placement, rankings or favorable coverage. Recommendations reflect independent judgment based on the methodology above.
Corrections and feedback
If you spot a factual error, a stale price, a broken link or a recommendation you think is off — please write to [email protected] with a link to the article and a brief description. We update corrected articles in place and revise the Updated date.
