Our founding edition connects historical records, explainers, research, and a first living evidence file. The archive will grow through stories that return to earlier claims and make new developments easier to understand.
Editorial standards
We link factual claims to their sources, distinguish manufacturer descriptions from customer accounts and independent testing, and record review dates. We identify open questions and separate our analysis from reported results.
Historical reporting records which event a date refers to. Research explainers identify the scope of the paper and our reading. Living stories carry dated update records so readers can see how the assessment developed.
How the first edition was produced
This edition was prepared with AI-assisted research, writing, and site development. It draws on publicly accessible primary sources. We have not conducted original interviews, reproduced the research, or tested the robots in this edition.
Corrections and updates
When a factual correction is made, the affected page will carry a dated note explaining the change. General editorial revisions will update the review date when the source assessment changes.
