How the verdict is decided

Why this pair: we publish a migration guide between them; our quiz recommends both for the same personality. We have no keyword search-volume data, so pairs are chosen by transparent signals instead: a vendor publishes its own comparison page for the pair, we have a migration guide between them, our quiz recommends both for the same personality, or Google autocomplete suggests the pair.
