Editorial methodology
A recommendation has to survive the tradeoffs.
We evaluate what a product is, who it fits, what the label discloses, what the format makes easier, what the limitations make harder, and whether the listing remains stable enough to recommend.
No blurred lines
Four evidence layers
| Evidence layer | How it is labeled | What it can support |
|---|---|---|
| Brand brief | “According to the brand” | Formula positioning and product claims |
| Current listing | “According to the current listing” | Variation, serving, ingredients, instructions, and seller details |
| Independent source | Named and linked | General science, law, safety, or technical background |
| Personal test | Explicitly disclosed | Taste, packaging, texture, usability, and dated experience |
