Research principles for the 2026 refresh

SeedBankCompare now treats each bank page as a living research record. We distinguish what a bank says about itself from what can be observed in its catalog and policies, and we date time-sensitive observations rather than presenting them as permanent facts.

Our commercial stack is intentionally narrow: ILGM, Multiverse Beans and North Atlantic Seed Co. are the approved affiliate relationships. Other banks can still appear as independent listings or comparison references when they add useful context.
