Sourced, or left blank — never guessed.

What counts as a source

A price or spec is recorded only when it comes from the manufacturer’s own site or an official sales channel — the primary source, not someone’s summary of it. If we can’t verify a figure there, the field stays blank and the model is honestly marked as not publicly priced.

These never count as a price:

• Press coverage, launch-event figures, or analyst estimates.
• Reseller, marketplace, or aggregator quotes.
• Subscription or robot-as-a-service fees dressed up as a purchase price.
• Placeholder, “starting from,” or aspirational future amounts.

Modeled values are always labeled

Verified new prices are one thing; used values are another. Used-value figures are modeled estimates, and we label them as such every time they appear — never dressed up as data-backed appraisals. Exactly how the model works, and what it can’t do yet, is public on our methodology page.

Corrections

Anyone can flag an error. Use the contact formand pick the reason “correction.” For a material price or status change, we re-check the maker’s own channel, apply the fix against that source, and record the new figure with its provenance. If we can’t verify the correction at the source, we don’t publish it — the same rule that governs everything else.

Independence

No manufacturer pays for placement, a ranking, or a rating — there is nothing to buy. Affiliate links exist on a few models but never reorder the catalog or move an estimate; that firewall is spelled out in our affiliate disclosure. Rankings follow the data, full stop.

How we use AI

We use AI tools to help gather and organize research — finding candidate sources, drafting summaries, spotting changes. Nothing an AI produces is published on its word. Every price, spec, and factual claim is verified against the primary source before it goes live, exactly as if a person had found it by hand. AI speeds up the search; the sourcing rule is what decides what stays.
