Editorial policy

Our standards for sourcing, accuracy and independence.

Last reviewed: October 2026

Sourcing

Every number, rate, price, rule or date must trace to a primary source with a link and an "as of" date. Unverifiable claims are not published.

No fabrication

We do not invent authors, customer reviews, testimonials, ratings or "we tested it" claims. Example scenarios are labelled as illustrative and use no real names.

Independence

Comparisons and figures are never changed by commercial relationships. Where a page carries affiliate links, it says so; the data shown does not depend on them.

Corrections & updates

We fix errors when found or reported, and date every change. See How we research & update.
