Evidence before output
Our process is designed around current retailer listings, manufacturer specifications, price history where available, warranty and return terms, and clearly described hands-on evidence. We do not present a copied archive page, a merchant description, or an AI-generated draft as completed research.
- Verify the exact item. Model, configuration, seller, region, and included accessories must match the stated offer.
- Establish price context. We compare the offer with a realistic recent selling price, not only a manufacturer list price.
- Check the seller and terms. Shipping, returns, warranty, membership requirements, and marketplace risk can erase a nominal saving.
- Explain the tradeoffs. A deal is useful only when the product still fits the buyer and is not being cleared for a material reason.
- Timestamp volatile information. Prices and stock change quickly, so deal pages identify when a check was made and are reviewed for expiry.
Research, experience, and opinion
We distinguish direct observation from second-hand information. When we have not personally used or tested something, we say so through the wording and production notes. Editorial judgment is explained with criteria instead of being disguised as an objective fact.
Use of AI and automation
Automation may assist with source organization, transcription, structured comparisons, grammar, or an initial draft. It may not publish autonomously. A human editor is responsible for checking claims, links, dates, relevance, originality, and whether the page adds value beyond its sources. Materially AI-assisted pages are marked in their production notes.
Updates
Pages are reviewed when source facts change, a reader reports a material issue, or the topic becomes stale. The visible updated date must reflect a meaningful change to the main content, evidence, structured data, or useful links rather than an automatic date refresh.
