Current publication status
No product-specific review currently passes the site’s updated publication gate. Legacy sample pages are retained as noindex structural templates.
Evidence labels
- Hands-on review
- Requires direct use of the exact product and a documented method.
- Research-based review
- Requires the exact product, named primary sources, explicit limits, and no implication of direct testing.
- First look
- Covers announced or newly available information without a final recommendation.
- Editorial template
- Demonstrates page structure and carries no product conclusion.
Minimum product-review evidence
- Exact model and configuration.
- Named sources and verification dates.
- Best-for and skip-if guidance.
- Consequential strengths and limitations.
- Specification, support, and ownership context.
- Alternatives or a documented comparison set.
Scores and awards
Scores and product awards are not currently used. They may return only with a visible rubric, consistent evidence requirements, and editorial reasoning sufficient to support the precision shown.
Deal verification
A deal requires an exact product, working retailer destination, current price, meaningful comparison basis, checked time, expiry when known, and price-volatility disclosure.
Updates
Dates change only when content or evidence changes materially. The owner must define category-specific freshness thresholds before automated staleness rules are introduced.
