FTC & Affiliate Disclosure

How Meridian Research Group Is Funded

In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines (16 CFR Part 255), please assume that links on Meridian Research Group pointing to third-party software vendors (including links formatted as /go/[vendor-name]) are affiliate referral links.

When you click on these links and subsequently sign up for a free trial or purchase a software subscription, Meridian Research Group may receive a referral commission from the vendor or through partner networks (such as PartnerStack, Impact, or Reditus) at zero additional cost to your organization. In many cases, our partner links unlock extended free trials or waived onboarding fees.

Strict Separation of Editorial Scoring & Commercial Partnerships

Our laboratory scoring rubric is governed by our deterministic 5-Axis Scoring Methodology. Affiliate commissions never influence which software wins a head-to-head comparison, nor do we accept payment to remove negative findings or hidden contract cost warnings.
