Methodology standard

Every number should have a trail.

For product datasets, we prefer official manufacturer pages, manuals, technical documentation, and clearly attributable first-party sources. We preserve qualifiers rather than converting unlike claims into false precision. Coverage ratings remain manufacturer claims, and observed prices are capture-time values that may include promotions.

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.
DownloadableOpen CSVs are published when the data structure is useful.
CorrectableSource-backed corrections are reviewed and updated.
ComparableSpecifications are normalized only when the comparison remains honest.

Next research expansions

The same normalized database can support slope-capability analysis, navigation-technology market share, warranty comparisons, price-per-acre trends, and future year-over-year pricing. We will expand only where the source trail remains auditable.
