Where facts come from

Product facts come from the published data for that exact piece. They are extracted and written into the page by a script rather than typed, which removes the most common source of error on a site this size.

If the data does not state something, the page does not carry a line for it. That is why one product page shows a weight capacity and the next does not, and it is deliberate.

What we never do

• We do not invent reviews, ratings or testimonials.
• We do not invent a company history, a factory, a team or a founding date.
• We do not describe manufacturing, testing or storage that we cannot show you.
• We do not fill a missing specification with a typical value.
• We do not publish a warranty, delivery promise or stock figure, because those are not ours to state.

Sources

Safety and materials sections rest on federal rules rather than opinion. Every source is opened and read before a sentence is written against it, and the read date is printed next to the link. The full register is on our sources page, and the method behind these pages is set out under methodology.

Prices

Prices are updated on a schedule. Every page carries the date of the last update. A suspicious change is held back for a person to look at rather than published automatically, and a piece with no buyable price reads Currently unavailable rather than showing an old figure.

Photography

Photographs are shown at their own size and never enlarged past it. That is why the gallery tiles on this site are modest rather than full-bleed. An enlarged photograph is a worse photograph in a bigger file, and it is not a trade we make.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, write to contact@bornoon.net. We check it against the published data and fix the page. Corrections are made quietly and quickly rather than argued about.
