Why this exists
The category moved fast enough that the usual sources stopped being useful. Vendor pages describe intentions. Roundups summarise vendor pages. Almost nobody generates the same deck in fifteen products and opens the files.
That is the whole idea here: a fixed brief, a published rubric, and results that stay on the page even when they are inconvenient.
Who publishes it
This site is operated by the team behind Slaide, which builds an AI presentation tool and therefore competes in the category being tested. We considered publishing it without saying so and rejected the idea: a review site that hides its owner is worth nothing the moment anyone finds out, and somebody always does.
So the arrangement is stated everywhere it is relevant, the framework is published before the results, and Slaide is allowed to lose categories it does not win.

How the testing works
Every product receives an identical brief and identical source facts, and is scored on six weighted criteria. The overall score is calculated from those six parts rather than chosen and justified afterwards. The full methodology is published, including what the framework deliberately does not measure.
How it is funded
Slaide pays for it. There are no paid placements, no sponsored positions and no affiliate arrangements with the competing products — a vendor cannot buy a rank, a category award or a favourable line here, because there is no mechanism for it.
Links to Slaide carry rel="sponsored". Links to competing products are unpaid.
Corrections and challenges
If a result does not reproduce for you, or a vendor believes a test misrepresents their product, the editorial policy covers how that is handled. Corrections are published and dated, not quietly applied.
