Research and Testing Methodology

Agent Infra Guide separates documented facts, calculated estimates, observed provider data, and hands-on test results. Rankings are not published simply because a provider has an affiliate program.

Provider data

Prices, hardware configurations, regions, product limits, and features should be dated and tied to the provider source or test environment used. Because infrastructure changes frequently, old observations should not be presented as permanently current.

Hands-on tests

Where a page ranks or recommends specific infrastructure, testing should document the provider and plan, region, model or agent version, runtime, workload, relevant configuration, test date, and important limitations.

Calculated estimates

Calculators distinguish mathematical planning estimates from measured runtime behavior. Model-memory calculations, for example, should not be presented as exact VRAM requirements unless they come from a specific measured model and runtime configuration.

Commercial relationships

Affiliate relationships may fund the site, but they should not determine technical conclusions. Commercial links should be disclosed clearly and rankings should remain tied to documented evidence.

Corrections and updates

Infrastructure pages should be updated when material facts change. Significant corrections should replace outdated claims rather than being hidden behind undated copy.
