How we vet

01
Evidence before adjectives
Claims need a traceable source. If the evidence is thin, the wording stays modest.
02
Fit over popularity
We focus on the buyer, workflow, and constraint a product serves, not a generic score.
03
Limits stay visible
Important tradeoffs sit beside the recommendation, not in fine print at the bottom.
04
Human approval
Every public review passes evidence, compliance, and owner checks before it appears here.

The compact

Our editorial policy explains how evidence, affiliate relationships, corrections, and review approval work together.
