Methodology standard
Every number should have a trail.
For product datasets, we prefer official manufacturer pages, manuals, technical documentation, warranty policies, parts catalogs, and clearly attributable first-party sources. Turfgrass targets use university Extension guidance. We preserve qualifiers rather than converting unlike claims into false precision. Coverage ratings remain manufacturer claims, observed prices are capture-time values that may include promotions, and modeled ownership costs are labeled as scenarios rather than observed repair histories.
For commercial comparisons, affiliate economics do not determine the ranking. A merchant relationship can change where a purchase link goes; it does not buy a higher technical verdict. We separate source evidence, product fit, and monetization.
Source-linkedPrimary evidence stays attached to the claim.
Scenario-labeledModeled costs stay separate from observed facts.
CorrectableSource-backed corrections are reviewed and updated.
ComparableSpecifications and policy terms are normalized only when the comparison remains honest.
