Editorial independence

Editorial Policy

TestedWise publishes practical, accurate, and transparent guidance. This policy explains how topics are selected, how evidence is handled, and how commercial relationships are disclosed.

Topic selection

We prioritize clear reader needs: a purchase decision, a practical task, a compatibility question, or a problem that benefits from careful explanation. We do not publish a page solely to target a keyword or insert an affiliate link.

Research and verification

Writers distinguish manufacturer claims, retailer listing details, permitted third-party information, and hands-on testing. Sources are checked where practical, time-sensitive details are dated, and uncertainty is stated rather than hidden. We do not claim personal use or product testing that did not occur.

Editorial independence and brand relationships

Affiliate relationships may support the site, but payment does not buy a positive review, a ranking, or a guaranteed recommendation. When a product or brand is associated with the site owner, that relationship is disclosed on the relevant page and the page is presented as product information rather than an independent third-party review.

Use of AI tools

AI tools may assist with research organization, drafting, or editing. They do not replace source verification or editorial judgment. Important claims, comparisons, links, and recommendations must be reviewed by a human editor before publication. We do not invent product tests, quotations, sources, or user experiences.

Updates and corrections

We correct material factual errors and update pages when important specifications, terms, or recommendations change. A date is changed only when a page has received a substantive review, not simply to make it appear fresh.
