Non-Negotiable Rule: Zero Fabricated Hands-On Claims
We do not physically handle every hardware product in our catalog. When a hardware review is grounded in manufacturer specifications, published third-party discharge measurements, and verified owner feedback patterns, it is explicitly labeled Research-Verified. When a software tool is evaluated against our reproducible task rubric, it is labeled Workflow-Benchmarked.
01. Two Distinct Provenance Labels
Workflow-Benchmarked (AI Tools & Software): Our editorial desk audits the live pricing schedule, credit consumption math, commercial licensing terms, and reproducible task output (such as voice narration character burn or comparison matrix accuracy).
Research-Verified (Physical Hardware): We cross-reference official manufacturer engineering manuals, independent lab teardowns, and recurring patterns across verified buyer reviews.
02. Mandatory Material Drawbacks Gate
Our publication pipeline rejects any review that fails to document concrete drawbacks—such as per-seat pricing cliffs, mandatory onboarding fees, proprietary solar adapter cables, or 113 lb carry weights.
03. Strict Separation of Editorial Scores and Affiliate Links
Commercial links use rel="nofollow sponsored" and never alter a product's rubric score or ranking order. If a cheaper tier or competitor solves the buyer's problem better, we state that upfront in the 45-second verdict.
04. Corrections & Price Updates
Software pricing and hardware street prices shift rapidly. Each review displays its last-checked date. Send correction evidence to admin@bookaistudio.com.
