Editorial Policy

The reader's problem comes first

Every page has to solve a real problem for the person reading it. Whether I recommend a product, which safety limits I disclose, and which option is genuinely best for a particular household — none of that is for sale, and a commercial relationship never decides it.

Sources and review

When I state a safety threshold, a regulation, a recall, or an emergency procedure, I trace it to a primary source. The higher the risk, the more review it gets: critical guidance either carries named expert review or I deliberately narrow its scope until it is honest.

Corrections and updates

If I get something wrong in a way that matters, I say so and fix it. The publication, modification, and review dates you see describe real editorial work — I do not bump a date just to look fresh.

Accountability

A real person is responsible for everything published here. I verify factual claims and quotations before they go live, and I never present research or someone else's work as my own firsthand experience.
