Editorial Policy

Effective August 26, 2026

FlawCheck exists to help buyers understand meaningful product limitations. Editorial conclusions are not supplied or approved by manufacturers, retailers or affiliate partners.

Accuracy and sourcing

We prefer primary sources for specifications, compatibility, warranties, recalls and update policies. Secondary sources are used when they add independent testing, reporting or attributable owner experience. Rumors and launch claims are labeled.

Reviews and analysis

We clearly distinguish hands-on reviews from research-based analysis. We do not fabricate product use, measurements, credentials, interviews or owner consensus. Scores are editorial assessments and must be supported by the visible article.

Independence and conflicts

Free samples, sponsorships or other material relationships must be disclosed in the relevant article. A company cannot buy a favorable verdict, suppress criticism or review copy before publication for anything beyond checking factual questions.

AI-assisted work

Tools may assist research organization, transcription, image optimization and drafting. Claims still require source verification, and a human publisher remains accountable for what appears on the site.

Corrections and contact

Substantive errors are corrected promptly and significant changes are disclosed. Send evidence through our contact page and include the article URL.
