Procurement ethics
Hardware evaluated in our index is acquired anonymously through open retail storefronts at full market price. We reject manufacturer-seeded press units to guarantee every thermal reading and battery benchmark reflects identical silicon in consumer hands.
Affiliate compensation never dictates tier ranking or catalog inclusion. Outbound routing operates under uniform merchant agreements, and items failing bench benchmarks are blacklisted regardless of commission yield or merchant incentives.

Submit hardware for audit
Independent curators and engineering teams may submit benchmark telemetry reports or flag broken merchant routes directly to our verification team.
