Review pipeline

How a review lead becomes a proper buyer review

1 Lead captured

Find the buying question

A feed item, vendor page, launch or manual note becomes a private lead only when it raises a useful product question for operators.

2 Evidence added

Check price, fit and alternatives

Before it is treated as a review, we need pricing checks, limitations, alternatives and either hands-on notes or a clearly stated research basis.

3 Verdict published

Give a reader a decision

A finished review should say who it is best for, who should avoid it, what changed, and whether any affiliate or sponsor relationship exists.
