Editorial Policy

How we decide what to publish and how recommendations should be written.

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.
