Editorial Policy & Review Methodology

Start with the reader’s needs

Our intended editorial approach begins with the home, the use case and the reader’s constraints: space, installation, budget, connectivity and maintenance.

Research-based guides

Research-based analysis can use manufacturer specifications, manuals, current retailer information and relevant reliable sources. Each guide should cite its important evidence and explain uncertainty.

Firsthand testing

Claim hands-on testing only when it actually occurred. A tested review should explain the product, conditions, duration, observations and limitations, with original evidence where available. AI-created images are not testing evidence.

Comparison criteria

  • Suitability for the stated use case
  • Installation and compatibility
  • Useful features and significant limitations
  • Subscriptions, maintenance and total cost
  • Privacy and safety considerations when relevant

Authorship

Published articles identify their actual authors. Fictional editorial characters do not receive author credit or expert credentials.

Updates and corrections

Important changes should be reflected in the affected guide. Dates should reflect meaningful review or changes, not imply testing that did not happen. Readers can report concerns through our contact page.

Commercial transparency

Affiliate relationships and other material connections should be clearly disclosed where relevant.
