Editorial Policy

Every page on Tech Product Insight belongs to one of three clearly labeled types:

- **Hands-on review** — a named member of our team has used the product in real workflows. These pages show the reviewer, the test date, and an editorial score on our 0–10 scale. - **Research brief** — factual, sourced information compiled without hands-on testing. These pages never claim testing and carry no editorial score. - **Catalog listing** — product data (name, price, specifications, merchant link) from partner catalogs. Listings are not reviews and are excluded from our sitemap until they are editorially upgraded.

We do not publish testing claims, testimonials, scores, or verdicts that are not backed by a real testing event or a verifiable source.

We earn affiliate commissions when readers purchase through our links. Commissions never determine what we cover, how we score, or what we recommend. Merchants cannot pay for a review, a score, or a placement in our lists. See our [affiliate disclosure](/affiliate-disclosure) and [ownership and funding](/ownership-and-funding) pages.

Editorial content is reviewed before publication. A product page may only display an editorial score after a hands-on testing record (tester, date, evidence) exists in our system — this is enforced technically, not just by policy.

Reviews are re-checked when vendors ship major updates or pricing changes materially. Publication and revision dates are shown on articles. Expired deals are removed during regular catalog imports.

If you find an error, see our [corrections policy](/corrections-policy) for how to report it and what happens next.
