Editorial standards

Trust is the product.

Add or Pass is designed to add analysis beyond a rewritten specification sheet while remaining honest about the absence of hands-on testing.

01

Exact identity

Every decision names the model or SKU. Similar-looking retailer variants are not treated as interchangeable.

02

Visible sources

Features and specifications come from manufacturer pages, manuals or other cited material.

03

No invented experience

We never claim to own, use or test a product unless that work actually occurred and evidence is provided.

04

Buyer consequences

Specifications matter only when they change fit, setup, routine, maintenance, compatibility or regret.

05

Clear caveats

Every recommendation identifies who should skip it and why.

06

Responsible freshness

Each guide carries a last-checked date. Unstable prices, ratings and availability are omitted unless supplied compliantly.

07

Transparent automation

Add or Pass uses AI and automation to organize manufacturer documentation and draft comparisons. Every recommendation is grounded in sources listed on the page. We do not claim hands-on experience unless a product was actually tested.

08

Corrections

Material source changes or factual errors are corrected, and recommendations are revisited when the underlying decision changes.

Affiliate independence

Retail links do not determine the winner. Amazon links use the Add or Pass Associates tracking ID. Commission availability never changes the recommendation.
