Agency opens its pricing and its editorial standard to public scrutiny across 1,073 industries, from EMS dispatch to grain elevators
United States, 3rd Aug 2026 — Digital Heroes has published buyer guides for 1,073 distinct software categories at blog.digitalheroesco.com , covering operations that rarely get written about seriously: EMS electronic patient care reporting, computer aided dispatch, gas leak survey, dam safety monitoring, court case management, grain elevator operations, aircraft maintenance records and telecommunications revenue assurance among them.
The guides carry an editorial rule the agency has made public: no third-party statistic, study or percentage appears anywhere in the corpus. Every number is either the agency’s own delivery experience, framed as such, or a widely known public fact such as a regulation name or a published platform limit.
The Problem the Guides Address
A buyer evaluating custom software faces a market where almost nobody publishes a price. Vendors gate quotes behind a sales call. Agencies list capabilities instead of costs. The buyer is asked to commit to a discovery process before learning whether the project is a $60,000 build or a $400,000 one.
Every one of the 1,403 buyer guides opens with a cost band in the first paragraph, before any argument for hiring anyone. Each also states the conditions under which a custom build is not justified and an off-the-shelf product is the correct choice.
What the Standard Forbids
The agency publishes the constraints its own writing must satisfy:
- No invented statistics. No “studies show”, no “% of companies”. Numbers are first-party delivery experience or public fact.
- No invented claims about named competitors. The guides name real products and criticise them only on grounds a practitioner can verify: configuration ceilings, integration burden, per-seat economics at scale, data portability, reporting rigidity. No invented pricing, feature gaps, customer counts or legal history.
- A verdict, including “stay where you are”. A guide that always concludes “build custom” is advertising. Guides state who should keep their current system.
- Honest trade-offs. Every guide lists the disadvantages of a custom build alongside the benefits.
Scale and Structure
- 1,073 industry buyer guides
- 330 guides on alternatives to named software products
- 7,480 city guides across 374 cities and 20 software categories
- 12,475 question and answer pairs
- Approximately 2.6 million words of body copy
Each page carries its own generated illustration keyed to that industry’s actual work, structured data for search and AI answer engines, and descriptive alternative text for screen readers.
Quote
“Most people shopping for custom software cannot find out what anything costs until they have sat through a sales call. We decided to put the numbers first and accept that some readers will use them to decide not to hire us. A guide that tells you to keep the software you already have is worth more than one that tells you to buy.”
— Prasun Anand, Digital Heroes
How to Check This
The standard is falsifiable and readers are invited to test it. Search the corpus for “studies show” or for a cited percentage attributed to a third party. Compare the cost bands on any two guides in the same category. Read a guide for software the agency does not sell and see whether it still recommends building.
