Start with the job
What real problem should the product solve, and for whom?
Our selection method
A recommendation should show its work.
We start with the job you need done, separate evidence from judgment, compare the full cost and credible alternatives, and name the reasons to wait.
Separate evidence from judgment
Facts need sources. Preferences need to be named as preferences.
Look beyond the sticker price
Consider the known product cost together with shipping, upkeep, returns, and replacement burden.
Make limitations visible
A useful recommendation includes the reasons someone should not choose it.
Compare real alternatives
Value only makes sense beside another credible option or the choice to wait.
Make the next step clear
A useful recommendation tells you what to verify before you act—and when waiting is the better choice.
What this method is not
No mystery score. No fake certainty.
A score can hide the judgment behind it. We keep the facts, preferences, tradeoffs, and open questions visible so you can decide what matters to you.
