How we capture them
Screens come out of the account, not the press kit
Every screenshot is taken inside the account the product was run in, at the point in the workflow being scored. Nothing is staged, nothing is a vendor render, and nothing is a mock-up.
- Captured in the live account, mid-workflow
- Dated with the test it came from, and re-shot when the product changes
- Never a vendor render, never a mock-up
Editor’s verdict
The verdict names one product, says who it is for and who it is not for, and shows the criteria that decided it. It is written after the testing, signed by the person who did it, and dated — so you can judge how current it is and hold someone to it.
Signed and dated by the reviewer who ran the tests
