- No affiliate-ranked lists. Rankings and verdicts are never for sale.
- Real numbers with dated claims.
- The publisher does not sell any of the products covered.
- When the cheap option wins, the guides say so.
- Paid brand placements exist and are always labeled as paid, with editorial control retained by the publisher.
