Editorial policy
What we publish
Guides that answer one question well. Each one must contain something original: a hands-on test, our own measurements or screenshots, a comparison table built from primary sources, a calculator, or a quote from someone with direct experience. A guide without original input is not published.
Sources
- Every statistic names its source and links to it.
- We link to primary sources: government and standards bodies, original research and official documentation.
- When a price, rule or law applies only in one country, the guide says which.
- Sources are listed at the end of each guide and rechecked periodically. Broken links are replaced or removed.
Use of AI
AI tools help with research and first drafts. They may only use facts collected in the research notes for that guide. A named person checks each claim against its source, edits the text and approves it. No guide is published without that review.
Topics we handle differently
Guides that touch health, personal finance, law or current news are never drafted by AI. They are written by hand or not published at all.
Updates and corrections
Each guide shows the date it was last updated. When we change a fact or a recommendation, the date changes. If you find an error, tell us through the contact page and we will check it and correct the guide.
Independence
TODO(owner): state whether you accept free products, sponsorship or affiliate commission, and that none of them changes a recommendation. Advertising and affiliate links, once present, will be labelled.
