Methodology

1. Topic selection. We prioritize high-intent vs-queries and pain points from product photography forums, reviewed weekly against search data.
2. Source collection. Tier-1 standards and regulators first (CIE, IEEE, NPL, AMPAS SSI docs), then vendor spec sheets and trade tests—never Wikipedia as primary evidence.
3. First draft. Naomi Caldwell writes with a named source for every numeric claim and dated pricing.
4. Editorial review. Talia Cohen checks measurements, tone, and conflicts before publish.
5. Update cadence. Guides are re-reviewed every 9 months; firmware or standard changes trigger immediate re-test.

We use AI assistance for literature sweeps, regression checks, and proofreading. A human signs off every chart and verdict. See editorial policy for the AI declaration matching our HTML meta tag.
