How We Choose

The Checklist Test
We only build a kit if a reasonable person would naturally make a checklist for it — not for one-off product comparisons.
Editorial Board
Every pick passes through Value, Practical, Performance, and Devil's Advocate review before it earns a place.
No Paid Placement
Nothing is included for commission, sponsorship, or popularity. Everything is included because it belongs.
