Media kit

Everything a partner, vendor or journalist needs to describe Tool Grading accurately. Facts only; figures are updated when the site is rebuilt.

What Tool Grading is

Business software, graded on one public rubric. Tool Grading exists because most software rankings are either advertising in disguise or an opinion dressed up as a number. We publish the rubric first, then score against it, so a reader can disagree with a weight instead of guessing at a motive.

Publisher

Tool Grading LLC, an independent publisher. Mailing address will be published here when company registration is complete.
Editorial and partnership contact: hello@toolgrading.com

Audience and positioning

Readers are people who run or work in small businesses and need to choose, price or use business software. Content is written in English for a US-first audience. The site launched in 2026; traffic figures will be published here once there is a full quarter of data, and we do not quote estimates before then.

How we work with vendors
