Accuracy before volume
Reef Bench does not publish to meet an arbitrary article count. Pages must answer a distinct decision, cite a clear evidence base and add something more useful than a rewritten product description.
Source standards
We prefer model-specific manuals, manufacturer technical documents, current UK retailer pages and verifiable measurements. Forum posts, reviews and videos may help identify recurring owner experiences, but are not treated as manufacturer specifications or universal facts.
Use of AI
AI may assist with organising research, comparing documents, drafting, calculations, consistency checks and page maintenance. It is not presented as personal ownership or testing experience. Material product claims must be traceable to evidence before publication.
Commercial independence
Affiliate availability may affect which purchase links are offered, but it does not determine the research conclusion or ranking. Sponsored material cannot silently replace editorial analysis.
Updates
Substantive pages carry a reviewed date. Old models, discontinued products, price-sensitive conclusions and material errors are prioritised for correction or removal.
