Frequently asked questions
How do you choose what to review?
We prioritise products people actually compare when making a purchase decision, organised by the job they solve. Coverage expands as research capacity allows.
Are your reviews independent?
Yes. Editorial decisions follow our published methodology. Affiliate relationships do not decide rankings or scores.
How are products scored?
Scores publish only when category criteria and supporting evidence are ready. Until then we link to reviews and comparisons without placeholder scores.
How often are reviews updated?
We update pages when pricing, features, or material product changes require it, and we revisit category shortlists on a regular editorial cycle.
