Editorial policy

Evidence before ratings
Application Robot separates manufacturer specifications, editorial purchasing guides, and accounts submitted by contributors. Specification profiles are not hands-on testing. Community statements are not independently verified owner reviews merely because they appear on the site. Ratings and test conclusions need an identifiable evidence base; opinions and manufacturer claims must be distinguished from measurements.
Sources and corrections
Robot profiles link to manufacturer information and show the date it was checked where recorded. Confirm the current configuration with the supplier before placing an order. A launch announcement, preview and shipping product are different milestones. Prices should identify the currency, package and relevant date, not imply a current quote. Signed-in readers can report an editorial correction with the page URL, disputed claim and a reliable source. Reports are reviewed; they do not automatically change an article.
Editorial content
Some guides, discussion prompts and example conversations are prepared with AI assistance. An authored example is not proof of a real purchase, delivery dispute or independent product test. AI assistance does not establish accuracy: readers should check cited evidence and confirm safety-critical details with the manufacturer or a competent integrator.
Images and commercial interests
Product images should identify their source and applicable permission; attribution alone does not establish reuse rights. Contributors must own or have a lawful basis to publish uploads. Disclose employment, sponsorship, free products, paid placements and affiliate relationships near the affected content. A link to a manufacturer or retailer does not imply endorsement, seller verification or buyer protection.
Editorial illustrations
Some guide images are AI-generated editorial illustrations, identified in their captions. They explain a topic, not an exact product, historical event, customer delivery or approved installation. Manufacturer images retain their source credits. An illustration's creation date is separate from the event it depicts. Source dates, event dates and article revision dates should not be presented as interchangeable.
