Evidence standards
Testing Methodology
The evidence labels and repeatable criteria ReadyLience uses to distinguish research, inspection, hands-on use, and product testing.
I label evidence by how I got it
I tell you exactly what a recommendation rests on. Personally tested means I used the exact item or procedure and kept my notes or photos. Hands-on means I inspected it or used it in a limited way. Research-based means I worked from disclosed criteria and sources — never from experience I did not have.
The method follows the decision
A test is only worth running if it measures something that could actually change a purchase or a safety call. Before I publish a score or a ranking, I write down the equipment, the conditions, how many times I repeated it, the limitations that matter, and the date I did it.
Products and relationships
When I review something, I tell you how I got it and whether I have any relationship with the manufacturer or seller. The real drawbacks, the cases where it is the wrong choice, the alternatives, and any changes to the product are all part of the review — not an afterthought.
