    Reviews look at installation, account setup, everyday usage, support friction and the path from trial to long-term use.

  2. Separate claims from evidence

    Performance, pricing, privacy features, reliability and platform support are checked against observable behaviour where possible.

  3. Turn results into a decision

    The verdict explains who should consider the product, who should avoid it and which trade-offs are worth accepting.
