Review and testing methodology

We use “tested”, “hands-on”, “we used”, “our measurements” and similar wording only when owner-supplied evidence is recorded.

Hands-on evidence

A hands-on review can record test dates and duration, hardware configuration, methodology, measurements and raw results, original photographs, and whether a product was owned or borrowed. The page should explain the method and its limitations.

Repair Bench evidence

Repair Bench drafts may be created only from genuine notes supplied by the owner. The system must not invent a customer, device fault, quotation, diagnosis, action or outcome. Case notes must be anonymised before publication.

Desk research

Researched buying guides, comparisons and first looks use attributed source material and do not imply that every product was personally tested. External laboratory or professional-review measurements remain attributed to their source.
