Sources and data policy
Source priority
- Official manufacturer specifications
- Official documentation and press materials
- Government and regulatory sources (for example EPA fuel economy, IP ratings bodies)
- Reputable industry databases
- Trusted publications, only where an official figure does not exist
Stored with every product
Each product record stores its source name, URL, source type and the date its specifications were last verified. Those details are printed at the bottom of every product and comparison page.
Price baseline
We record launch or official list prices in US dollars. Regional prices, promotions and currency conversions change daily and are out of scope.
Estimates
Where a manufacturer does not publish a figure (Apple battery capacities, for example) we either leave the row as "Not published" or, where a widely reported teardown or regulatory filing exists, use that figure and say so in the product summary.
