Editorial principles

  • We separate official specifications from experience-based recommendations.
  • We don't present unverified prices, availability, or firsthand claims as facts.
  • We show the assumptions and limits behind every calculation.
  • When affiliate links are present, we clearly disclose the financial interest.

How we make money

The site may earn revenue from ads and affiliate links in the future. We keep business and editorial decisions separate, so revenue never affects our editorial standards.
