Editorial & Fact‑Checking Policy

Version 1.0 – Published 1 May 2025

Our Mission

At Pro Well Tech we believe trustworthy information powers better tech decisions. Our goal is to deliver actionable tips, unbiased reviews, and clear explainers—all grounded in hands‑on testing, primary‑source research, and two decades of industry experience.

Editorial Principles

1. Accuracy First

• Every factual claim is verified against primary sources (manufacturer specification sheets, regulatory filings, academic papers) and/or our own laboratory data.
• Statistics and market figures are cross‑checked with at least two independent references.

2. Independence

• Reviews and buying guides are never influenced by advertisers or manufacturers. We accept no pre‑publication approvals.
• Affiliate relationships or sponsored placements are disclosed in the first screenful of a page.

3. Experience & Expertise

• All content is written or reviewed by Thiruvenkatam (Publisher & Editor‑in‑Chief) or an accredited specialist in the topic at hand.
• External experts are credited by name, with credentials linked to verifiable profiles.

4. Transparency

• Each article shows the original publish date, last‑updated date, and reviewer’s name.
• Our full testing methodologies are open to readers and peers for scrutiny.

Research & Fact‑Checking Workflow

Step	What Happens	Responsible Role
1 · Topic Pitch	We analyse reader questions, search intent, and market demand.	Editor
2 · Source Gathering	Collect primary documents, conduct hands‑on tests, capture original photos or video.	Author
3 · Draft & Self‑Check	Author annotates every claim with an inline citation in Google Docs.	Author
4 · Peer Review	A second editor verifies numbers, links, clarity, and readability.	Section Editor
5 · Expert Review (as needed)	External specialist validates technical accuracy.	Subject‑Matter Expert
6 · Publish	Article goes live with Reviewed by stamp and timestamps.	Editor‑in‑Chief
7 · Post‑Publish Monitor	We track comments, tech updates, and schedule refreshes.	Research Lead

All stages are tracked in an internal Trello board for auditability.

Corrections & Updates Policy

• Minor edits (spelling, style) are applied immediately without note.
• Substantive corrections (factual errors, misquotes) trigger:
  1. An Editor’s Note at the top describing the change.
  2. A reply to the reader or expert who flagged the error.
• Verified errors are corrected within 24 hours of confirmation.
• Articles older than 12 months enter a scheduled full re‑review cycle.

Product Testing Methodology

We operate a dedicated test lab in Chennai, India, equipped with color‑calibrated monitors, thermal cameras, and battery‑cycling rigs. Key protocols include:

• Battery life: 1080p video loop at 200 nits over Wi‑Fi until shutdown.
• Display accuracy: ΔE values measured using CalMAN Ultimate and a X‑Rite i1Display Pro.
• Thermals & noise: 30‑minute Cinebench R24 loop with temperature monitored via FLIR One Gen 3.
• Camera performance: Standardized studio scene under 320 lux and outdoor daylight.

Raw benchmark files are stored for random spot checks and reader requests.

Advertising, Affiliate & Sponsorship Disclosure

• Affiliate links may earn us a commission when you buy through our recommendations. These links do not affect the products we include or the verdicts we reach.
• Sponsored articles are clearly labelled as such in the headline and byline.
• Display advertising placements are managed through Google AdSense; ad inventory is separated from the editorial staff.

Privacy & Data Handling

We comply with GDPR, CCPA, and India’s DPDP Act 2023. Our Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and how you can access or delete it.
