Publishing standards
- Open with a direct answer rather than withholding the conclusion.
- Name the author or responsible editorial team and show publication and review dates.
- Link important health claims to primary research, official product documentation, or public-health guidance.
- Separate source evidence, editorial interpretation, and Metric product behavior.
- Define technical terms and include practical limitations.
- Use screenshots and examples that represent real Metric interfaces and plausible data.
- Keep product calls to action contextual instead of inserting them into every section.
Comparisons
Product comparisons use publicly available information from each product’s official website, documentation, and App Store listing. They identify the date reviewed, link to the competitor’s own materials, distinguish confirmed features from interpretation, and avoid implying that one product is universally best.
Pricing, compatibility, and features can change after publication. Readers should confirm purchase decisions with the product’s current listing.
AI-assisted work
Software may assist with research organization, outlines, editing, or quality checks. Metric remains responsible for the published result. Sources must still be inspected, product claims must match the app, and generated text is not treated as evidence.
Corrections and updates
Material corrections update the reviewed date and the affected statement. Routine typography or formatting changes do not require a correction note. Readers can report a concern with the article URL and supporting source.
