What an article is based on
Every buying guide and comparison carries a label near the top:
- Research-based means it’s built from manufacturer specs, official documentation and published reviews. We list those under Sources at the end of the article so you can check them.
- From our own project means it comes from something we built or ran ourselves, mostly in the Build section.
We don’t claim to have tested a product unless we have. If an article doesn’t say we used it, assume we didn’t.
How we pick what to recommend
We start from what a reader needs: budget, the device they already own, and what they’ll actually use it for. Then we compare the options on the specs and features that matter for that, and say plainly who each pick is not for. Prices change often, so we point to where to check the current price rather than printing one that will go stale.
Keeping articles current
Tech goes out of date fast. Guides are reviewed and updated when a new model or a price change makes them wrong, and the date at the top of each article shows when it was last updated.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the change at the end of the article. You can tell us about a mistake through the contact form.
Money
Cruntrix is free to read. We don’t take payment for coverage or let anyone review an article before it’s published. If we add advertising or affiliate links, we’ll say so here and on the articles that carry them.
Editorial policy
Cruntrix is edited by Nate Arden, who decides what we publish and is responsible for every article on the site. We use AI tools to help with research and drafting. Every article is checked against its sources and edited by a person before it’s published, and the editor is responsible for what it says.
