Independent Comparison Lab
Editorial standard

How we research

Recommendations begin with a real user problem.

Evidence order

  1. Current official information.Price, availability, restrictions and terms close to publication.
  2. Reproducible testing where practical.Hands-on checks or demonstrations another person can repeat.
  3. Independent failure evidence.User evidence helps surface limitations and edge cases.
  4. Alternative comparison.A recommendation must beat reasonable substitutes.

Freshness

Material claims are rechecked because prices, capabilities and rules change.

Publication control: material claims are rechecked whenever source facts or recommendations change.
