Editorial method

How the index is organised

  1. Buyer situationEach market is organised by buyer situation rather than by a single ranking.

  2. SourcesPrices, UK applicability and workflows are taken from vendors' own pages and carry the date they were checked.

  3. Unknown valuesWhere a value could not be verified, it is recorded as unknown.

  4. No scoresThe index publishes no ratings, star scores or reviews. Fit is explained for each buyer situation.

Editorial policy

Independence

No vendor can pay to be included, to rank higher, or to change a product's classification or description. There are no sponsored placements and no vendor submissions.

Products excluded from a market are retained with the reason for exclusion.
