Pathly only works if you can trust it
Here's exactly how we choose cases, label evidence, answer your questions, vet consultants and make money.
How we choose cases
- We only include real, published results with a source we can link to.
- We summarize each case in our own words.
- We note caveats, like when results came from the vendor or the customer isn't named.
- We re-check sources regularly and update or remove cases that are out of date.
What the evidence labels mean
A Low label doesn't mean a result is false. It means you should weigh it accordingly.
How Ask Pathly answers you
Ask Pathly only points to cases in our library. It doesn't invent results, and if nothing matches well, it tells you so. Answers are educational, not professional advice.
Conversations are saved so we can see which industries and problems come up most and improve the library. We don't ask for your name to use Pathly, and we remove contact details from saved chats.
How we vet consultants
- Application and portfolio review.
- Reference checks.
- A conversation about how they work and handle client data.
- Follow-up with owners after every referral. Consultants with poor outcomes are removed.
How Pathly makes money
Pathly is free for business owners. Partner consultants may pay a referral fee when an owner chooses to work with them. Fees never affect which consultants we show or how they're ranked, and Pathly never shares your details without your consent.
