How we review
01 / Define the work

Start with real needs.

We organize research around the tasks people need to accomplish, with scope and limitations made clear.

02 / Show the evidence

Keep the gaps visible.

Unverified facts stay unverified. A product listing is never presented as a completed hands-on review.

03 / Explain the tradeoff

Put the reader first.

Our editorial policy separates commercial relationships from the conclusions in our research.
