Editorial standard

How reviews are evaluated.

Scores may summarize evidence. The explanation and disclosed method remain the basis of the recommendation.

  1. 01

    Set the scope

    Define the audience, use case, and criteria before comparing products.

  2. 02

    Document the research

    Separate direct product testing from source-based research and state which method was used.

  3. 03

    Explain the tradeoffs

    Identify who each product suits, where it falls short, and which alternatives deserve consideration.

  4. 04

    Disclose and update

    Publish the review date, commercial relationship, and material changes to the recommendation.

Research sources, test results, a scoring rubric, and version notes arranged as a documented evidence trail.
