We want recommendations to earn trust.

Proof & Merit is an independent research and comparison brand built around a simple idea: a recommendation should be explainable.

We compare products, software and services by starting with the decision a buyer is actually trying to make. We then define the criteria, qualify the evidence and make the tradeoffs visible.

Founder & editor

Andreas Klaus founded Proof & Merit and is responsible for its editorial direction, review methodology and publication standards. Proof & Merit is operated from Peyia, Cyprus.

Our editorial standards and corrections process are published openly on the Editorial Standards page.

What we value

• Clarity over volume: fewer useful choices beat endless product lists.
• Evidence over claims: documentation, data and direct experience are separated from marketing language.
• Tradeoffs over hype: the right choice depends on use case, constraints and total cost.
• Disclosure over ambiguity: commercial relationships should be visible to the reader.

How we are funded

Proof & Merit may earn commissions from qualifying referrals or purchases. When that applies, we disclose it. See our affiliate disclosure.
