Methodology
Every public article should show how it was built.
Article type, source framing, sample language, and human review come before trust.
Public proof
Method, source, sample status, and scope should be visible before a story asks for the next click.
The goal is not to make every page heavy. It is to let visitors see what kind of confidence the page has earned.
Article types
Keep the story type visible.
These labels tell the visitor what kind of answer the page is trying to give.
Desk explainer
Used when ingredient language, category terms, or shelf claims need translation before a product decision makes sense.
Primary proof: source note + scope line + visible query frame.
Routine guide
Used when the problem is order, repeatability, or where a step belongs inside a calmer routine.
Primary proof: sequence logic + practical use boundaries.
Comparison note
Used when two category ideas are routinely confused and the operator or reader needs one cleaner distinction.
Primary proof: role differences + label cleanup + decision tension.
Trend shortlist
Used when launch noise, shelf movement, or category drift matters enough to deserve a filtered public note.
Primary proof: signal-over-noise framing, not a fake full-market census.
Sample and disclosure language
The page should not imply testing, gifting, or commerce that did not happen.
Purchased / gifted / loaned
If the body depends on hands-on use, the page should say how the product was obtained and what kind of use actually happened.
Not tested
If the page is source-led only, the sample line should clearly say that a purchased, gifted, or loaned wear test is not being implied.
No hidden commerce
Disclosure should state when a page includes affiliate links, partner products, clinic information, gifted samples, sponsored placement, or independent desk guidance only.
Human review gate
A draft is not a publish decision.
01
Define the signal question and article type before writing the answer.
02
Check claims, labels, and category language against source material or clearly stated testing.
03
Review the next step, disclosure, and correction route before publish.
