Methodology. Specs come from manufacturer data and
authoritative third-party catalogs. Reviewer verdicts are summarized
from named, linked sources — never copied verbatim. We weight clinical
and lab-tested sources more heavily than community commentary, but the
specific weights stay internal. Never sponsored, never paid placement.
