Our evidence labels

First-hand

Used by Celeste TCG

We identify products and services we purchased, pay for or operate in the store.

Published

Manufacturer or marketplace

Speeds, capacities, pricing and rules are attributed to the organization that publishes them.

Research

Outside experience

Other sellers can reveal workflows and failure modes, but their results are not presented as ours.

What a first-hand guide includes

  • The role the product plays in our actual workflow.
  • Who should buy it and who should wait.
  • Setup costs beyond the headline product price.
  • Safety, review and maintenance limitations.
  • A dated update when our use or the product changes.

How we handle numbers

Operating totals are dated snapshots. Manufacturer speeds are labeled as specifications. We avoid revenue promises, unverified seller claims and invented conversion rates. A tool that saves us time may not pay back at another seller’s volume.

Affiliate links do not prove a recommendation

A product earns a recommendation by fitting a defined use case. Affiliate links are marked near the recommendation and explained in the affiliate disclosure. We may recommend waiting, using a phone or choosing no paid tool even when an affiliate option exists.

Corrections

When a material claim is wrong, we correct the page and note the change when context matters. Send evidence or a correction request to info@celestetcg.com.
