Independence and scoring
Commercial availability and editorial quality are related but not identical. A sponsored listing should be clearly labelled, and the score should still reflect the documented product assessment.
Every factual statement should be traceable to a product test, operator page, support interaction or other retained evidence.
Updates and corrections
Material corrections should be made promptly and recorded internally. Offer text, payment details, ownership, support hours and product availability should be checked on a regular schedule.
Use of automation
Automation can help identify broken links and stale dates, but final factual and editorial decisions should be reviewed by a person responsible for the market.
