Review Methodology

Commercial and review-oriented content must explain how recommendations are formed.

Best-of pages, comparisons, and reviews should explain the factors evaluated, the weighting logic used, and the kinds of users each recommendation is designed for.

When affiliate relationships exist, methodology and commercial disclosure should remain separate and visible.

Behavior-first analysis

Products are judged against real use cases and ongoing value, not only bonuses or marketing claims.

Fees matter

Annual fees and cost drag are included in editorial framing.

Fit over hype

The right recommendation depends on the reader's situation, not a universal winner.
