Editorial policy
How we test products, disclose methodology, handle corrections, and keep affiliate incentives out of our rankings.
Independence
Subger is funded by affiliate commissions on bookings we refer. We never accept money, gifts, or “sponsored review” placements in exchange for a higher ranking, a better verdict, or a change in methodology. If a product is not in our affiliate network we still rank it on merit and link to the direct signup.
How we test
Every pillar page declares its own methodology: the criteria, the weights, the testing window, and the data sources. We pay for every product with our own cards, run every benchmark against a shared hardware baseline, and re-test on a fixed quarterly cadence. Methodology versions are stamped on each review so older rankings stay auditable after we change how we score.
AI assistance, human responsibility
Our editors use AI tools to summarize research, flag inconsistencies, draft table cells, and translate content. Every claim on a pillar page is human-reviewed against a primary source and signed off by a named editor, and the fact-checker is listed in the page byline. We don’t publish AI-drafted reviews without human sign-off, and we don’t publish benchmark numbers we haven’t run ourselves.
Corrections
If you find a factual error, a pricing typo, a stale benchmark, or a broken link, submit a correction from any pillar page or email corrections@subger.com. We publicly log every correction in the page’s “Recent updates” block within 10 business days, and we retest any number that changed a ranking.
Conflicts of interest
Subger editors do not hold equity in any reviewed product, accept travel or gear from vendors, or take “embargoed early access” in exchange for launch coverage. Where a product is owned by a Subger staff member’s former employer we disclose it inline on the page. If a material conflict arises the editor is rotated off that pillar.
