Editor in Chief
Ethan sets and enforces the testing methodology behind every ranking on Benchmark Lab. Before a score goes live, he reviews the raw test logs against the published rubric for that category - checking that criteria were defined before testing began, that every tool ran the same test script, and that the published scores match what was actually observed. He also reviews every article on the site before it's published.
