Editorial policy

Our work should help readers make informed decisions, not simply attract search traffic.

Standards

  • Important factual claims should be traceable to a primary or clearly identified source.
  • News summaries must link to their original reporting and must not imply original reporting.
  • Hands-on experience is described only when a contributor actually used or tested the product.
  • Opinion, estimates, manufacturer claims, and measured results are labeled distinctly.
  • AI-assisted work requires human review for factual accuracy, sourcing, clarity, and usefulness before publication.

Commercial relationships

Advertising, sponsorship, affiliate compensation, and vehicle access must be disclosed. Commercial relationships do not provide preview or veto rights over editorial conclusions.

Updates

Evergreen guides are reviewed when material facts change. Articles display meaningful publication and update dates rather than changing dates solely to appear fresh.
