Start with the evidence
A documentary comparison uses published information and official terms. It is not a hands-on product test. We will use “tested” only when direct testing has actually been carried out and the method can be explained.
Compare on the same basis
For a program, the unit of comparison is the exact degree and pathway, not the entire institution. For a paid resource, compare total price, access duration, renewal, included material, support, cancellation, and important restrictions.
Keep missing information visible
Unavailable is not zero. Candidacy is not accreditation. Online does not mean there are no in-person requirements. We do not fill missing facts with favorable assumptions.
Explain who an option may fit
A comparison should name its audience, criteria, alternatives, sources, and limits. There is no universal “best” badge and no NursingAcademy score that disguises incomplete data.
