Editorial control
The publication controls topic selection, evaluation logic, wording, rankings and conclusions. Vendors may provide factual information but do not receive approval rights over independent analysis.
02
Accuracy and sourcing
Material claims should rely on official product documentation, first-party disclosures and credible third-party evidence. Competitor claims are checked rather than copied from memory.
03
Balanced recommendations
Commercial pages must include limitations, qualification and buyer-fit context. Promotional language, unsupported superlatives and hidden conflicts are not acceptable.
