Editorial Policy

NarratedIndie pages follow four rules: facts come from cited sources, claims that can change carry a date, affiliate relationships do not decide verdicts, and errors are corrected in the open. These are the rules the site is written to. The site is new and has no track record of following them yet.

Source rules

• Primary sources come first: a vendor's or store's own pricing, help and policy pages, or the original report. Vendor blogs and third-party sites do not establish a rule, price or policy.
• Each price, limit, royalty and policy statement carries the date it was read and a link to the page.
• If a page could not be read, the article says so. It does not state what the page might contain.
• If a source is silent on a point, the article says it is silent. Silence is not treated as permission or prohibition.
• Vendor marketing claims are attributed to the vendor and dated.
• No invented numbers, quotes, customers, credentials or results. See the research method.

Verdicts and affiliate relationships

Affiliate status is not a ranking or verdict input. Pages state downsides and who a tool is not for. Some reviewed tools have no affiliate relationship and are covered the same way. Links, where approved, are marked as described in the affiliate disclosure.

How pages are produced

Drafting uses AI assistance from cited sources, with automated and AI checks. Unbounded Frontier LLC decides what is published. See the AI use policy.

Update schedule

The intended schedule is to re-read retailer policy pages monthly. That is a plan, not a track record: no re-read cycle has been completed. Each page shows its own "last verified" date, which is the reliable signal. No other update frequency is promised.

Corrections

Errors are handled under the corrections policy. The home page lists the site sections.
