Editorial standards

RankedRobot's editor, Tilanka Dahanayake, is accountable for everything we publish and for applying these standards.

• Sourced facts. Every factual claim links to a primary source. Opinion and interpretation are labelled Analysis.
• Spec-based, not hands-on — yet. Until we test robots ourselves, our comparisons and guides are based on published specifications, and we say so.
• AI assistance, human-grade rules. AI agents help us research, check and write, under the sourcing rules in our methodology. We never present AI output as hands-on testing, invent quotes or experts, or use fake personas.
• Robot overviews. The short overview on a robot's page is written by our research desk from the sourced figures on that page only, then checked line by line against the record by a second desk. It describes; it does not review. If a figure changes, the overview is rewritten.
• Monthly editor review. Once a month the editor reviews a sample of new and changed pages, overviews and stories, and rules on anything disputed. His own comments are published under his name and nowhere else.
• Independence. Makers and advertisers don't see or approve our coverage before it's published and can't buy positions or scores.
• News. We separate confirmed facts, company claims and unverified reports, and label rumours as rumours with their named source.
• Corrections are made promptly and logged publicly.
