Editorial Policy
The standards every article on Sourcedreviews is held to.
1. Independence
Sourcedreviews is editorially independent. No brand, manufacturer, retailer, or affiliate partner has input into which products we cover, how we compare them, or what we say about them. We accept no payment in exchange for coverage — positive or negative.
2. Sourcing
Every recommendation on Sourcedreviews is traceable to at least one of the following source types:
- Independent published testing (we name the publication)
- Manufacturer specifications (we link the product page)
- Aggregated verified-buyer feedback (we name the platform and roughly how many reviews we aggregated)
- Long-form owner reports from recognized enthusiast communities (we name the community)
We do not invent findings. Where published research is thin, we say so plainly rather than padding with opinion.
3. Corrections
If we get something wrong, we correct it on-page with a dated note at the bottom of the affected article. Material corrections are also summarized on this page under "Correction log" below.
4. Conflicts of interest
Affiliate relationships are disclosed on every article that contains affiliate links. Sourcedreviews does not accept paid placements, sponsored reviews, or product loans that would create an obligation to publish. If we receive a review unit from a manufacturer, we disclose that fact in the relevant article.
5. Use of AI
Daniel uses AI drafting tools to help organize research and tighten prose. Every recommendation, source citation, and final edit is reviewed and approved by a human before publication. We do not publish AI-generated reviews without human review.
6. No hands-on testing
Sourcedreviews does not currently perform hands-on testing of every product we review. This is a deliberate choice: we believe published testing from independent labs, when properly aggregated, is more reliable than a single reviewer spending a week with one unit. Where a recommendation depends primarily on hands-on feel rather than measurements, we say so explicitly.
