This page explains how CogPair decides what to publish and how money affects it. The short version: advertisers and affiliate programs have no say in our conclusions.
How articles are made
- We pick a question people actually ask, from search data and from reader email.
- We research it against primary sources — manuals, standards, specifications, and our own measurements where we have them.
- A draft is assembled with the help of AI writing tools. Every draft is then reviewed, corrected and approved by a human editor before publication. We do not publish unreviewed machine output.
- Anything we could not verify is either left out or explicitly marked as uncertain.
Measurements
When we publish a number we measured ourselves, we publish the method and the date next to it. If a figure comes from a manufacturer, we say so.
Money
CogPair earns from display advertising and from affiliate links, including the Amazon Associates Program. We do not sell reviews, rankings, or links. A product is not recommended because it pays more; where we recommend against a popular product, we say why.
Corrections
Mistakes get fixed, not quietly deleted. Material corrections are noted at the bottom of the article with the date. Report one at [email protected].
