Editorial standards I work to.
Every device or clinic I review is held to GLOW Standard, the publication's published methodology. The Standard's core commitments, no paid placement, a five-axis rubric for product reviews, a nine-point clinic framework for clinic features, and a published conflict register, apply to my work without exception.
For at-home device reviews, every unit is acquired at retail; I do not accept PR samples for graded reviews. The minimum test window is six weeks; clinical-grade comparison testing extends to twelve. Scores are published with the panel skew on file and a second editor's sign-off.
For clinic reviews, the assessment is editorial, not commercial. I do not write paid placements, sponsored features, or undisclosed advertorial. Clinic featuring is selected jointly with the Editorial desk; the basis of selection is published on every featured clinic page. Read the Review Methodology for the full clinic framework.
