How we research

Sources, limits, then a useful handoff

  1. 01

    Define the decision

    Start with the reader’s question, household context, constraints, and the point at which the article must stop.

  2. 02

    Check evidence and boundaries

    Separate public-source research, modeling, and hands-on testing; keep material qualifications beside the claim.

  3. 03

    State limits and handoffs

    Say what remains unknown and link only to pages that are live, useful, and independently verified.
