Can a company pay to be featured on Calgary Biztech?

No. Placement, ranking and inclusion are not for sale at any price. Where a company we link has a commercial relationship with the network operator, the page discloses it in visible text and marks the link as sponsored. That disclosure is the entire arrangement.

What does the reviewed date on a page mean?

That someone read the page against its sources on that date. It is not the date a word was changed and it is not moved to make an unchanged page look fresh. A page that has not been genuinely reviewed keeps its old date even when that looks bad.

Why do some pages say a claim could not be verified?

Because it could not be. Where a capability, a rate or a rule cannot be confirmed against a primary source, the page says so and tells the reader how to check it themselves. An honest gap is more useful than a confident guess, and it is the thing a reader can act on.

Does Calgary Biztech publish the same page as its sister sites with the city name changed?

No. A regional page has to carry local evidence to exist. If the only regional thing about a page would be the city in the title, it does not get written, which is why coverage differs between editions instead of matching.

Editorial Policy | Calgary Biztech

Calgary Biztech aims to be useful before it is persuasive.

A page here should let a reader make a decision, or tell them plainly why they cannot yet.

Sourcing

Regulatory, tax and product claims are verified against a primary source and cited in the page. Vendor marketing is not a source for what a product does.
Where a claim rests on industry shorthand instead of the standard itself, the page says so and points at the standard.
Where something could not be verified, the page says that too. Pages here carry sections stating what could not be confirmed, because an unverified claim presented confidently is the failure mode that costs a reader money.
Nothing here is legal, tax or accounting advice. Pages that touch those areas say so and tell the reader who to ask.

Dating and Review

Every page shows when it was published and when it was last reviewed.

A review date means someone read the page against its sources on that date. It does not move on an unchanged page to look current. This costs us on pages that look stale and it is the only way the date means anything.

Regional Pages

A page about Calgary has to carry Calgary evidence: local rates, local rules, local operating conditions, or local companies as factual examples.

If the only regional thing about a page would be the city name in the title, it does not get written. Coverage therefore differs between editions of this network instead of matching, which is deliberate.

Naming Companies

Companies are named as factual examples, drawn from public sources.

We do not claim a named company has an operational problem, and we do not imply one is failing a statutory obligation. Where a page lists companies in a sector, it is describing a market and it is not endorsing anyone in it.

Commercial Disclosure

Placement is not for sale. No listing, ranking, or inclusion can be bought.
We do not publish vendor-written content under our own byline, and we do not accept guest posts.
We do not insert or swap links for payment.
Where a company we link has a commercial relationship with the network operator, the page discloses it in visible text next to the link, and the link is marked as sponsored.
No commercial relationship changes what a page says. The disclosure exists so a reader can weigh the link themselves.

Comparisons

A comparison should explain fit, and it should avoid pretending one product wins for everyone.

Where a product is genuinely weak, the page says so and cites where that is documented. Where it is strong, the same. A comparison in which the recommended option has no drawbacks has not been done.

Corrections

When a factual issue is found, the page changes. Material corrections carry a dated note explaining what changed. The full process, including what we refuse to do to a published page, is on the corrections page.
