Affiliate disclosure

Today: no affiliate links

There are no affiliate links, referral codes, sponsored placements or paid mentions anywhere in this book or on this site. No tool vendor has paid for a mention, a ranking or a review.

This page exists before the first such link does, on purpose. A disclosure added afterwards is a correction; a disclosure added beforehand is a rule.

If that changes, what you will see at the link

The disclosure sits **in the same block as the link**, not in a footer and not only on this page. You should never have to leave the sentence you are reading to find out whether it was bought.

Every link that earns us money carries `rel="sponsored nofollow"`, so it is machine-readable as paid as well as human-readable.

Every page that carries such a link links back to this page.

Where a paid link may stand, and where it may not

Allowed: a "where to buy" line on a single tool page, the footer of a head-to-head comparison — **on both sides**, so the comparison stays symmetric — and after the result of a cost calculator.

Not allowed: inside a verdict, inside a comparison table, inside the appendix, on the pricing page, or on the front page. A paid link may never sit one click away from a recommendation, because that is where it would start doing the recommending.

What a commission does not change

It does not change a verdict, a ranking or a documented limitation. It does not move a tool into a category it does not belong in.

The checkable version of that claim is in the book itself: its core advice recommends tools that pay us nothing and cannot — FLUX.1 schnell, SDXL, IPAdapter, PuLID, ComfyUI, AI-Toolkit, Docker. A page that followed the commission would not recommend the free option, and this one does.

The anti-bias check

Every build takes the first tool listed in each category of Appendix B, marks whether a paying programme exists for it, and counts. The ordering is read straight out of the manuscript, so the numbers below cannot go stale between quarters and cannot be quietly forgotten.

As of this build: 11 categories. The first tool in 2 has a paying programme we confirmed at the vendor. 7 lead with a tool where no programme is confirmed. 2 lead with a tool we have not verified either way (RunPod, Fanvue, OnlyFans) — those count as neither, because calling an unverified tool clean is a claim we cannot back.

In 2 of 11 categories a confirmed programme exists and the tool that leads is not it: Runway pays and Kling 2.6 / 3.0 leads; n8n pays and ComfyUI in API mode leads. That is the opposite of an ordering that follows the money.

The expected result is a minority, and it is one: 2 of 11.

The result is recorded in two places, so the check cannot be skipped: this page, rebuilt from Appendix B every time, and a test in the repository that fails if the ordering changes. A check with no recorded result did not happen.

What we would not do

We will not sell a ranking in a comparison table, and we will not remove a documented limitation of a tool because its vendor asked.

We will not put a paid link in the book text itself. The manuscript is the part of this product that has to be worth trusting on its own.

If a verdict looks bought

Write to hi@zordonintelligence.pl and name the page. A recommendation bent by a commission is a defect, and it gets treated as one.
