Priority order
Accuracy comes first. Original value, reader usefulness, topical relevance, clarity, timeliness, search discoverability and commercial value follow in that order.
Sources and evidence
We prefer primary sources: official documentation, filings, research papers, standards, direct interviews, product documentation and first-party data. Secondary sources are used to add context, not replace the strongest available evidence.
AI-assisted work
AI may assist research organization, transcription, summarization, drafting support, editing and production. It must not invent quotes, tests, statistics, product use, sources or people. Material factual claims still require verification.
Reviews and hands-on claims
We do not imply hands-on testing unless hands-on testing actually happened. Reviews disclose relevant methodology, limitations and commercial relationships.
Commercial independence
Sponsors may pay for clearly labeled commercial formats. They do not buy our editorial opinion, rankings or undisclosed favorable treatment.
