This policy sets the rules the Motorlark Editorial Team follows for every guide on Motorlark.
Research only
We do not buy, unbox or run our own product tests, and we never write as if we did. Our facts come from maker product pages, spec sheets and manuals, current Amazon US listings and patterns across many verified owner reviews. We summarise owner reviews in our own words and never copy review text or show star ratings.
Independence
Picks and rankings are decided by the editorial team. Amazon commissions and brands have no say in which products we include, how we rank them or what drawbacks we list. Every pick names a real drawback.
Accuracy and dates
Every guide shows when it was published, when it was last updated and when we last verified it. We do not print dollar prices. Amazon prices change often and we have no live price feed, so each pick shows a price tier instead: Budget, Mid-range or Premium. The tier compares the maker list price on our check date with similar products in the same category. Use the "Check current price on Amazon" link to see today's price.
Updates and corrections
We re-check guides on a regular schedule and sooner when a model is discontinued, replaced or recalled. When we correct a fact we update the page and its last verified date. You can report an error through our Contact page.
Bylines
Guides are credited to the Motorlark Editorial Team. We do not publish personal bylines.
