Editorial Policy

Last updated: February 2026

What We Stand For

FanalMag exists to give builders, makers, and decision-makers across Africa the clearest possible picture of AI, robotics, and the tools reshaping how work gets done. A simple principle guides everything we publish: be useful, be honest, and respect your time.

How We Pick What to Cover

Our editorial decisions are driven by relevance. We ask ourselves three questions before committing to any piece: Does this matter to someone building, buying, or regulating technology in Africa? Can we add something that isn’t already being said? And do we have the knowledge — or access to the knowledge — to get it right?

We cover what we believe in. If a topic doesn’t meet that bar, we skip it. No filler, no padding.

Reviews, Scores, and Rankings

Our AI tool reviews and robotics scores follow structured frameworks. Every score is assigned by our editorial team using documented criteria. At our Robotics Hub, we publish our full methodology — including pillar weights, evidence levels, and update cadence — so you can see exactly how we arrived at a number.

We do not accept payment in exchange for scores, rankings, or editorial placement. Period.

Affiliate Links and Sponsorship

Some of our tool reviews and resource pages include affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never influences our editorial judgment or scoring.

When content is sponsored, we clearly label it. Sponsored content is always identified before you start reading.

Corrections

We make mistakes. When we do, we fix them promptly and note what changed. If you spot an error in any article or review, reach out via our contact page — we take corrections seriously.

Independence

FanalMag is an editorially independent publication. We are not owned by, affiliated with, or financially backed by any of the companies, manufacturers, or platforms we review.

A Note on AI-Assisted Writing

We use AI tools in our workflow — for research assistance, drafting, and editing. Every piece is reviewed, fact-checked, and shaped by our human editorial team before publication. The thinking, the judgment, and the final call are always human.
