TRUST GURU / REFERENCE DESK / SITE INFORMATION

Editorial Policy

The Trust Guru review method starts with an identifiable subject and a dated source. We explain the difference between a provider’s statement, a documentary observation and a completed practical test. This policy sets the rules for attribution, corrections and commercial placements alongside our guides.

Begin with the entity

Identify the subject before interpreting its claims. We look for a relationship between a name, provider, product and market, and leave an unresolved identity unresolved. A similar spelling, working page or HTTPS connection cannot supply the missing ownership or distribution evidence.

Match the article to its evidence

Our language must match the evidence collected. Document analysis explains a published record; practical testing requires an observed process, date and device. A rating needs a defensible method and genuine inputs. We do not manufacture downloads, stars, account experiences or author qualifications.

Keep task pages focused

A reader should be able to follow one task through the relevant guide. An installation explanation therefore needs distribution evidence, while access help needs identifiable account information. We retain sources and dates, and change a review date only when supported by an actual review or material amendment.

A paid placement is separate from the answer

An advertisement beside an article has its own destination and label. It cannot answer a different brand’s login, app or support question, and a sponsored or nofollow attribute does not validate the advertised service. Editorial claims still need their own attributable basis.

Author credit and source images

The collective byline credits the desk’s analysis. Source-listed developers remain the subjects of their reviews. Captions identify source images or editorial illustrations; a pictured account, team or balance does not establish that a feature worked in our hands. No simulated screen is presented as a test result.
