Trust rules

Useful without pretending to be a lab

  • Product prices, specs, compatibility, and affiliate links stay unverified until reviewed.
  • Safety-sensitive advice stays conservative around leases, electrical work, mounting, kids, pets, and 3D printing.
  • Tools explain their assumptions so users can sanity-check the result before acting.
