Editorial Policy

This page explains how Tech Fold researches, writes, reviews, and corrects its guides. It applies to every article on the site.

How we research

We start from the question a reader is actually asking, not from a keyword. We look for primary sources first: official documentation, government and regulatory bodies, peer-reviewed research, and manufacturer specifications. Where we test a product or follow a process ourselves, we say so explicitly and describe what we did.

Where we rely on testing or data from others, we name them and link to the original. We do not cite a source we have not read.

How we handle health content

Health articles are held to a stricter standard because the cost of being wrong is higher. They cite authoritative US sources such as the CDC, NIH, MedlinePlus, and FDA, or peer-reviewed research. They distinguish well-established findings from early or contested ones. Every health article carries a visible disclaimer stating that it is general information and not medical advice.

Health articles may also carry a Medically reviewed by line. That line appears only when a qualified reviewer has actually reviewed the article.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it and say that we fixed it. Substantive corrections are noted in the article, and the updated date changes. We do not quietly edit an article to hide an error.

If you have found a mistake, tell us through the contact page.

Independence

No advertiser, affiliate partner, or sponsor gets to approve, review, or influence our verdicts. A product does not get a better write-up because it pays a commission. See our disclosure page for how affiliate links work here.
