How We Know
What We Say We Know
Our pages separate direct observation, first-party statements, outside authority, inference and the things we did not test.

Five labels behind the writing
- Observed: an editor reproduced a public screen or product state and recorded date, route and stopping point.
- Configured: a current product catalog or site configuration established a field such as a coin or VIP item; this does not prove checkout availability.
- First-party stated: a service’s own policy, help page or store listing made the claim.
- Externally supported: a government, regulator, nonprofit or reliable contemporary source supports a safety or historical fact.
- Inferred: the conclusion follows from evidence but was not directly observed. We label it and keep it narrow.
// product checks
A check must include its stopping point
“Tested” is not enough. We state the date, device class, public route, actions taken and actions deliberately not taken. Opening a selector does not test matching. Reading a catalog does not test a purchase. Reviewing a moderation rule does not test enforcement.
We do not enter private calls merely to manufacture “firsthand experience.” Testing involving another person requires a consent-aware method and would still be limited by region, time and account state.
// comparisons
No affiliate winner, no feature-list laundering
Competitor pages are decision tools, not endorsements. Active competitor names may appear in article titles so readers can find the comparison; they are not used to impersonate affiliation. We prefer current first-party terms, privacy pages, support and store listings. Marketing numbers, testimonials, “verified” labels and safety superlatives remain claims unless independently reproducible.
A fair comparison aligns evidence stages: public entry against public entry, current checkout against current checkout, rule against rule. We do not compare a competitor’s marketing sentence with our own observed screen and call that proof of superiority.
// prohibited shortcuts
What we will not publish
- Invented users, online counts, quotes, reviews, tests or staff biographies.
- Guaranteed identity, gender, safety, anonymity, match speed or conversation quality without evidence.
- “Completely free” when paid items, renewals or later prompts may exist.
- Country pages that only translate an English template.
- Pages created solely to repeat a keyword or route visitors through a thin doorway.
- AI-generated filler, repetitive conclusion blocks or citations that do not support the sentence.

Who writes, and what review means
Xu Nana maintains the current MixuChat documentation. The visible byline links to the role, scope and correction path instead of presenting an invented biography or credential.
Editorial review is a checklist, not a second anonymous endorsement: verify the URL and date, reproduce only the public step described, preserve the stopping point, open every cited source, remove claims that the evidence does not support, and confirm that pricing and safety wording includes its limits. Until a separate verified reviewer is available, we do not imply that a second named person approved the page.
// corrections
How to challenge a page
Email [email protected] with the URL, disputed sentence, current source and date observed. We review material factual errors, update the page and its modified date, and add an entry to the product check log when the change affects a published test boundary or comparison.
Safety guidance is general information, not legal, medical or emergency advice. In immediate danger, contact the relevant local emergency service.
