Our editorial standard

AI makes the story louder. The owner supplies the truth.

Every review starts with a product Jake actually owns, a voice-note download of what happened, and photos from the install or daily use.

01

Use it

Vehicle, year, time owned, install difficulty, failures, and the tiny details that never appear on the box.

02

Dictate it

A loose speech-to-text download: what worked, what annoyed me, who should buy it, and whether I would do it again.

03

Prove it

Original photos, install shots, model numbers, and a clearly separated note when something is research rather than experience.

04

Edit with AI

Structure, headlines, useful energy, FAQs, metadata, and a cleaner verdict—without adding claims that were never in the source.

05

Localize carefully

Japanese copy is rewritten for clarity, not simply swapped word-for-word. U.S. fitment and Japanese-market verification stay separate.

06

Keep checking

Links, availability, long-term performance, and changed opinions get dated updates instead of silent rewrites.

Guardrails

What AI is never allowed to do

  • Claim I owned or tested something I did not
  • Invent measurements, fitment, or durability
  • Turn a researched option into a personal recommendation
  • Hide a return, failure, or affiliate relationship
  • Translate a U.S. listing into a fake Japanese product match
Affiliate income can pay for the work. It cannot change the verdict.
