Editorial Policy

Sourcing and accuracy

Coverage should distinguish published specifications from observed performance and clearly identify the basis for comparisons. Claims that can change over time, including price and software compatibility, should be dated or updated when new information becomes available.

Reporting and opinion

Factual reporting, measured comparison, and editorial recommendation are distinct. Recommendation language such as “best” or “which should you buy” is an editorial judgment and should be supported by the criteria stated in the article.

Reviews and comparisons

Reviews and comparisons should explain the tested or documented criteria, material limitations, and meaningful trade-offs. Lost In Consoles does not present database-generated console records as reported news.

Affiliate relationships

Some purchase links may be affiliate links. Lost In Consoles may earn a commission from qualifying purchases, without changing the price paid by the reader. Commercial relationships must not determine an article’s conclusion. See the Affiliate Disclosure.

AI-assisted and automated workflows

The site repository contains automated workflows that organize specifications and can generate descriptive text for database pages. Automated database output is kept out of the editorial RSS feed unless it is separately reviewed and classified as an eligible editorial article. Material factual claims remain subject to editorial review and correction.

Corrections

Substantive errors should be corrected promptly and the article’s modification date updated. See the Corrections Policy.
