Reader-first rules
A page should make the buying decision clearer, not just longer. Strong pages explain fit, trade-offs, caveats, and the next step a careful buyer should take.
We do not hide material caveats just because a product is popular, expensive, or commercially attractive.
Claims and evidence
Product facts, model names, availability, retailer paths, image rights, and schema eligibility must be checked before they are treated as final.
If a page is built from existing metadata, it must describe that status clearly and avoid final-score language.
Corrections and updates
Product categories change quickly. When Better Buy Lab finds stale model names, discontinued products, changed retailer availability, or stronger caveats, the affected page should be updated.
Future corrections should preserve the reader's ability to understand what changed and why.
Separation from monetization
Editorial structure comes before affiliate links. A product can be included because it fits a buyer scenario even if a commercial link is not approved yet.
Commercial links, when approved later, should support the page rather than determine the page's conclusion.
