Editorial Policy

Our editorial goal is to answer buyer questions with clear criteria, source notes, and practical tradeoffs.

What every recommendation needs

• A clear buyer use case.
• At least one drawback or limitation when relevant.
• Source notes or first-party evidence.
• A last-checked date for important claims.

What we avoid

• Fake reviews, fake testimonials, or unsupported performance claims.
• Copied merchant copy as the main body of a review.
• Claims that a deal, coupon, or price is live without a recent check.
• Presenting manufacturer statements as independent test results.
• Using ratings or Product schema fields that are not traceable to current evidence.

Corrections and updates

Important product claims carry a last-checked date. When a source changes, the affected comparison should be reviewed rather than silently preserving stale price, availability, app, or subscription language. Material corrections should be reflected in the page's modified date.

Commercial independence

Affiliate availability can determine whether a link is monetized, but it must not determine whether a product can be criticized, excluded, or placed lower. A product with no approved commercial link may still be discussed when it is useful to the reader.
