Source hierarchy
Official sources establish product and contract facts. Independent sources can establish observations for their tested configuration. Community reports generate questions; they do not establish failure rates.
Editorial standards
Accuracy before volume, eligibility before ranking
A provider is not called best until the named plan passes workload, market, payment, recovery and contract requirements.
Required review fields
Every material review should capture product identity, market, price, cash due, renewal, tax, resources, region, backups, support, refund, migration and exit.
- Missing evidence stays visible
- Calculations retain their assumptions
- Conflicting sources are not averaged away
- Old observations remain dated
Recommendation rule
Editorial judgement follows eligibility. A cheaper plan cannot win after failing the required workload, region, payment or recovery boundary.

Automation may help organize research and draft structure. Material commercial claims still require direct-source verification, attribution and editorial review.
