01Source hierarchy
Storefront documentation is read as a claim. Public threads are read as reports. Archived snapshots are read as history. A first-party order is read as evidence of service, not of product quality.
Where sources disagree, the page states the disagreement rather than resolving it silently. Where only one source exists, the page says so and grades the claim accordingly.
02Scoring
Five service criteria are scored out of five and averaged: disclosure, dispatch accuracy, packaging, support and documentation. Product quality, price and personal preference are excluded.
A score is a summary of recorded observations, not a prediction. It is revised when the underlying facts change, and the revision is noted.
03Advertising
The site displays advertising in fixed slots. Advertisers have no influence over editorial content, no advance sight of pages, and no ability to change a score. Sponsored units are labelled.
04Corrections and complaints
Corrections are published with a date. Complaints about a supplier are not published as allegations; they are recorded as reports with their source, and the supplier's response is included where one exists.
