Research standards

Evidence before assumptions.

Every Brand Check profile follows the same rules. A documented absence is more useful—and more honest—than a confident guess.

How verification works

What “audit complete” means.

Each field is supported by a traceable source or marked as not publicly documented in the current snapshot. That status does not prove the information does not exist; it means we could not responsibly publish it as fact.

Verdict

The current published Junk Filter dataset supplies the approved or questionable classification.

Community trust

Live votes appear only after shoppers have voted. We never manufacture a percentage for a brand with no votes.

Known since

A year is published only when an official or carefully curated source supports it. Dataset inclusion dates remain separate from founding dates.

Official website

A domain is linked only when curated brand research or a conservative exact-entity match supports it.

Warranty

Warranty terms vary by product and region. We link only to an official warranty, support or FAQ page that discusses those terms.

Manufacturer or owner

A manufacturer, legal owner or parent organization is named only when a source explicitly establishes that relationship.

Where to buy

Marketplace links are labelled as searches, not as proof that a seller is authorized. Always confirm the seller and exact model.

Comparable brands

Alternatives require a documented shared product category. Without that evidence, the profile says that no safe match was found.
