Status labels lead
Robots get labels such as available, prototype, coming soon or showcase. Those labels determine how carefully the text about lease, rental and availability is worded.
Editorial approach and verification
How Robotleasen.com assesses robot information
Robot information changes quickly. That is why Robotleasen.com uses clear status labels, indicative language and checkpoints. This page explains how we handle listings, news and supplier information.
No hard claims without data
We do not claim a direct lease offer. Availability, deployment form and costs must be confirmed with a supplier.
Listings are reviewed
Robot pages carry a last verification date. Listings can be adjusted when there is new information, supplier claims or corrections.
Sponsored logos
A supplier can pay for a logo on its own profile and its own card in the supplier directory. Such a logo is always labelled Sponsored and does not change the order.
News is market exploration
Articles are meant as calm interpretation. They avoid fake statistics, exaggerated claims and hype language without support. The articles are currently available in Dutch.
Paid placements
Paid promotion is always visibly labelled. Featured means a supplier pays for a place at the front. Sponsored means a supplier pays to show its logo on its own profile and card; this does not change the order. A free profile has no logo. A label says nothing about the quality of the robot or the supplier: we have not assessed that independently. Payment does not change specifications, sources or comparisons.
Order in the directory
Featured (paid) robots and suppliers come before the others in the default order, always with the Featured label. Payment does not determine which category, application or theme page a robot appears on; that selection follows from the data in the directory. Only the order within that selection changes. After that, we sort robots mainly by availability, whether there is a product photo, how much data is known and a fixed popularity score that the editors assign per profile. We sort suppliers in the supplier list by number of robots and name; on category and application pages, providers with a presence in the Netherlands or a confirmed profile come first. If you filter the robot directory by application, how well a robot fits comes before the label. If you choose a sort order yourself, only that order applies. On the home page, featured robots sit in their own labelled block: one robot with a product photo per supplier, in an order that changes daily. At the top of the supplier list, three featured suppliers change daily. Featured robots get no priority in comparisons. A sponsored logo does not count towards the order, the filters or the search results.
Corrections

Suppliers, manufacturers and readers can send corrections or additions. Preferably state the robot name, source or website, the desired change and contact details.
