Specs, decisions, dollar figures:
for the people writing the spec.

Sources we cite

Every claim in our articles is anchored to a published code, an engineering standard, or a manufacturer datasheet. The full reference list:

How we write these

Four rules. The whole methodology fits on a sticky note.

1. 1

   Every claim is cited or labeled.

   Manufacturer-published numbers cite the datasheet. Integrator-side estimates are explicitly labeled as estimates. Ranges include their source.

2. 2

   No sponsored content. Ever.

   We don't accept payment to feature, promote, or omit. Our articles compare us against the competition honestly because the comparison holds up.

3. 3

   Articles are reviewed annually.

   Codes change. Pricing drifts. The Updated date you see at the top of every article is the last time we walked the article line by line.

4. 4

   Real author. Named on every article.

   Bylines are credentialed real people, not 'Gatestile Editorial Team.' E-E-A-T isn't a marketing checkbox; it's a discipline.
