This page explains how articles are chosen, written, checked and kept up to date.
Purpose
Our aim is to help readers decide and act: clear explanations, concrete steps and honest limits. We do not publish text only to fill a calendar or to catch search traffic.
Authors and responsibility
Each article names its author. Whatever tools are used to research or draft it, a named person is responsible for what is published and for correcting it.
Sources
Facts, figures, studies and quotations come from sources we name at the end of the article, with a link when one exists. We prefer primary sources (official documents, studies, product documentation) to commentary about them. We do not invent quotations, experts, test results or statistics.
Tests, opinions and recommendations
When an article reports our own test, opinion or recommendation, it says so. A recommendation is never presented as a fact.
Review and fact-checking
A “Reviewed by” line names a person who really reviewed the article, and that person is never its author. The “Fact checked” label is shown only together with a named reviewer. Articles about health and money are held to a higher standard: they carry a disclaimer and are meant to be reviewed by a qualified person.
Updates
An “Updated” date appears only when the content really changed in a way that matters to the reader. Correcting a typo does not change the date.
Advertising and affiliate links
Advertising is labelled and kept apart from the text. Affiliate links are disclosed at the top of the article and do not change our assessment. Sponsored content, if we ever publish any, will be labelled as such.
Mistakes
If you find an error, tell us. See our corrections policy.
