1. Product discovery
Everyrated begins with ClickBank product records, public product pages, order information, and editorial additions. Software helps organize product names, categories, source URLs, and available images. Discovery does not equal endorsement.
A review is eligible for search only when the product record contains enough detail and a usable source trail. Thin records and regulated betting categories remain outside search submissions while still being available for readers to compare.
2. Evidence labels and five-star ratings
Desk research means the review uses public sources and a consistent buyer-decision framework but does not claim the product was purchased or tested. Hands-on tested is reserved for a review that documents actual use and supporting evidence. Each review displays its evidence label near the headline.
Everyrated does not convert visibility, marketplace position, affiliate commission, or tracking availability into a rating. Research completeness separately describes whether the offer description, product format, public source trail, image trail, and editorial source note are documented.
The maximum five-star editorial rating scores information clarity, buyer-fit clarity, source transparency, claim caution, and purchase confidence. Desk-researched offers are capped below a perfect score, and thinner public evidence lowers the ceiling further. These stars assess the buyer-facing record; they are not customer reviews, a test result, or proof the product performs as advertised.
Affiliate-marketplace descriptions are treated as promotional source material, not as independent buyer information. Sales-partner metrics, incentives, and campaign-performance language do not earn clarity credit and can lower claim-caution and purchase-confidence scores.
3. What every published review checks
The standard review asks what the product is, who may find the format useful, what the vendor page still needs to prove, what the base offer includes, whether billing or upsells may change the total cost, how refunds and support appear to work, and what a realistic first week of use would involve.
For health, finance, safety, legal, therapeutic, veterinary, or other high-stakes topics, the page uses extra caution and does not present a reviewed product as professional advice.
4. Automation and editorial responsibility
Software assistance is used for catalog organization, page assembly, internal linking, formatting, and repeatable buyer checklists. It is useful for consistency, but it cannot create first-hand experience or turn sales-page claims into evidence.
Each review labels its evidence as desk research or hands-on testing, identifies the product and category, separates sales-page claims from Everyrated analysis, marks each evidence check as documented or needing verification, and explains the five criterion values behind its editorial rating. The site avoids invented prices, availability, results, and customer-review counts.
5. Outbound link policy
ClickBank product links are kept separate from direct research-source links. Readers are encouraged to confirm current terms at the source and compare alternatives before paying.
Everyrated does not sell rankings, accept undisclosed paid placement, or describe a product as best solely because it is actively promoted.
6. Updates and corrections
The updated date changes only when the page or its underlying research changes. A correction should name the affected page, identify the disputed detail, and provide a current primary source. Material corrections are prioritized over cosmetic requests.
Reviews with weak source records are kept outside search submissions until their evidence improves, while the comparison remains available to readers who reach it directly.
The operating goal is to provide accurate source trails, transparent limitations, useful comparisons, and a satisfying buyer decision path.
