Our editorial aim
Explain cost components, calculation methods, assumptions, sensitivities and lifecycle value.
Scope
Never invent market averages, quote ranges, savings, ROI or payback. Do not disguise an illustrative model as actual supplier pricing.
Research and verification
Substantive claims require relevant sources. We prefer original documentation, official publications and research appropriate to the question. Estimates, assumptions and illustrative examples must be labelled. An imported research topic is not evidence.
AI assistance
AI may assist with research organisation, drafting and conceptual illustrations. AI output is not a source. Claims, references and calculations need checking before publication.
Transparency
We do not imply hands-on testing, independent certification or expert review unless the article identifies the actual work and its scope. Substantive changes should be reflected in update information.
Corrections
Send a correction with the article URL, the concern and supporting evidence.
