Editorial Policy

Sourcing & Listing Audits

Our editorial assessments rely on manufacturer technical sheets, distributor blueprints, and marketplace listing records. We systematically cross-reference claims against structural conventions.

• Dimensional Auditing: Listing dimensions are verified to determine whether exterior measurements include hinge pins, clasps, and fold-out thumb rings.
• Pan Geometry: Products are audited to distinguish international standard 19×16mm half-pans from proprietary or non-refillable glued pans.
• Pigment Disclosure: Pigment descriptions reflect manufacturer-disclosed Colour Index (CI) numbers and stated transparency classifications.

Distinction of Data

We maintain an unambiguous boundary between documented seller data and our structured editorial evaluations. We do not represent listing analysis as completed laboratory research or accelerated aging experiments.

Corrections Policy

When marketplace sellers revise palette dimensions, paint formulas, or latch designs, we update published articles to reflect current production runs. Identified inaccuracies are amended promptly with clear revision notices.
