Who publishes the research
Pages are published under the site organization rather than a fabricated personal reviewer. Where no genuine hands-on product use is documented, the page is presented as evidence-led research and does not imply that an individual author personally used the account, card or banking service.
How research assistance is used
Structured tooling and automation can normalize fields, surface missing evidence, compare recorded terms and flag dates for rechecking. They are not allowed to silently treat a changed web page as a confirmed fact. Material factual changes still require deliberate source review before publication.
Fit before commission
A commercial application link does not make a card rank higher in our editorial comparisons. The same cautions remain visible whether or not a partner link exists.
No invented winner score
We do not manufacture a 9.4/10 rating by arbitrarily weighting unrelated benefits. We expose the factors and let readers decide which matter.
Current over legacy
When issuer terms change, current documented terms replace older promotional figures. Material conflicts remain visible until resolved.
