Editorial standards

These standards govern everything we publish. They exist so you can trust a TechMallow verdict without having to take it on faith.

Accuracy and sourcing

We verify claims before publishing and cite primary sources where possible. When we rely on a single source or a leak, we say so. We distinguish clearly between reporting, analysis, and opinion.

Independence

Our editorial team is independent of our advertising and commerce teams. Advertisers and affiliate partners get no say in coverage, scores, or timing. We do not publish "pay to play" reviews.

Scoring

Reviews carry a 0–10 score built from weighted sub-scores (for example battery, display, performance, value). The methodology lives on our How we test page. Scores can change — see "living reviews" below.

Living reviews and corrections

Products change after launch, and so do their competitors and prices. When that happens, we re-verify and may re-score; the change and its date are shown on the review. If we get something wrong, we correct it promptly and note the correction. To report an error, contact us.

Use of AI

AI may assist with research and drafting, but every piece is reported, edited, and approved by a named human author who is accountable for it. We do not publish unedited machine-generated content.

Disclosures

Sponsored content is always labeled. Affiliate relationships are disclosed per our Affiliate Disclosure.
