Independence
Editorial decisions should be based on user value, evidence and consistent methodology, not advertiser pressure or affiliate compensation.
Sources and verification
Prefer manufacturer documentation, official manuals, regulatory databases, cloud documentation, app-store developer pages and authorized marketplace data. Record source URL, access date and confidence. Distinguish verified facts from estimates and opinions.
Reviews and testing
State whether a product was physically tested, reviewed from official documentation or assessed from aggregated data. Do not imply hands-on testing when none occurred.
Corrections and updates
Material changes, outdated prices, firmware changes and regulatory updates should trigger review. Use visible updated dates and a correction history where appropriate.
Commercial content
Sponsored content, affiliate links and partnerships must be labeled. Advertisers must not approve or suppress editorial conclusions.
