No paid ranking
Vendors cannot buy a better score, preferred placement or favorable editorial conclusion.
Governance
Independence is part of the method.
VetAI Trust is not an AI vendor and does not sell ranking positions. Funding, access and collaboration must not decide public conclusions.
Conflicts named
Relevant funding, access, vendor cooperation and reviewer conflicts should be disclosed with public work.
Testing is not endorsement
Participation in a benchmark does not imply certification, approval or recommendation.
Funding principles
Useful work can be funded without being captured.
VetAI Trust may later disclose funding models, grants, sponsorship policies or paid private evaluation work. Public editorial conclusions must remain independent.
Public comparisonsInclusion and framing should be based on evidence value and public relevance.
Vendor-funded workFunding must not influence public editorial conclusions.
Private dataPrivate benchmark data, gold labels and unpublished vendor results do not belong in public web files.
AccreditationVetAI Trust should not be described as an accredited certification authority unless that becomes factually true.
"Not independently verified" does not mean "false." VetAI Trust does not accuse vendors of deception without evidence.
