METHODOLOGY
Evidence before enthusiasm.
A useful recommendation starts by separating what was observed, what the product documents, and what remains unknown.
What we check
Official sources
Features, plans, policies, and pricing notes are checked against current first-party materials where available. Pricing can change, so time-sensitive facts are dated and should be rechecked.
Controlled workflows
When a product is tested, synthetic data and a bounded scenario are used. A successful test supports that exact workflow—not every configuration or outcome.
Limitations stay visible
Unknown policy terms, untested failure states, and audience-fit limits are recorded rather than smoothed into marketing language.
Commercial separation
An affiliate relationship, if one exists later, does not change the evaluation criteria. Disclosure belongs near a relevant commercial link, not hidden in a footer.
Evidence labels
- TESTED_TRUE
- Observed in a controlled workflow documented by this project.
- DOCUMENTATION_VERIFIED
- Supported by a current official source; it may still change over time.
- NOT_ESTABLISHED
- Not tested or not supported strongly enough to claim.
