About Mindstack Review

Mindstack Review is a news publication covering AI for business and productivity. We report in the third person against named beats. Every story carries a named staff byline.

How we started

Mindstack Review was founded in 2024 by a small group of business journalists and product operators who'd watched the productivity-software industry get reshaped by AI in real time — and grown frustrated that most coverage either oversold the technology or dismissed it. The publication started with four reporters and a working list of the products knowledge workers actually use. The masthead has grown since.

We file the story for a specific reader: the IT buyer, the product manager, the founder, the analyst who has to make a decision and wants the facts straight.

Editorial standards

Mindstack Review reports verifiable events from primary sources. Every factual claim traces to a primary source — a company newsroom post, press release, SEC filing, or official product page. Quotes from named people are verbatim from the cited source; when a verbatim quote cannot be confirmed, the story uses indirect speech instead.

We do not fabricate funding amounts, M&A figures, customer counts, headcount numbers, or executive statements. If a story can't be sourced cleanly, it does not run.

Opinion vs. reporting

Opinion and analysis columns are clearly labeled with the Opinion section pill and are written by named columnists. Everything else is third-person staff reporting.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we correct it and note the correction at the bottom of the story. Significant errors trigger an editor's note explaining what changed and why.

Pitch us

Tips, embargoes, and story pitches go to pitch@mindstackreview.com — or directly to the desk most relevant to the story (see the staff page for beats). We respond to confirmed news faster than to general pitches.

Ethics

Reporters do not hold positions in companies they cover. Sponsored placements, when present, are clearly labeled "Sponsored" and do not influence editorial coverage. Staff do not accept paid speaking fees or junkets from companies on their beat.

Privacy

Mindstack Review collects only the analytics necessary to understand which stories are being read. We do not sell reader data. The site does not run third-party advertising trackers; sponsored placements are served as static images.
