Editorial policy
The rules we hold ourselves to, and what we turn down.
Independence
- No brand reads, approves or edits a piece before publication.
- No brand has the right to have an unfavourable piece taken down.
- We accept no payment conditional on a score or a conclusion.
- If a brand demands a review pass, the piece is published stating that the request was refused.
Products loaned, given, bought
Where each tested unit came from is stated at the top of the article. A loan is returned on the date agreed. Receiving a product for free never guarantees a positive verdict.
Sponsored content
It is allowed, strictly framed, and flagged by a banner before the first paragraph. Three things are ruled out:
- No sponsored piece carries a score.
- No comparison and no "best X" selection can be sponsored: those formats assume an independence of selection that funding by one of the compared products destroys.
- No sponsored piece is presented as a review.
Using manufacturer data
Every value shown carries its source type: manufacturer page, press kit, retailer listing, measurement made by us, or unconfirmed estimate. An estimate is always flagged as such. When two sources disagree, we show the manufacturer value and document the gap.
Three dates, always shown
- Published on: first time online, never changes.
- Updated on: last substantial change to the text.
- Data verified on: last real check of the specifications and the prices.
Corrections
Every factual error is corrected and flagged at the end of the article with its date. To report an inaccuracy, use the Contact page: we correct within 24 working hours.
