Evidence before hype.

01

1. Identity

We match products using EAN or GTIN, manufacturer part numbers, brand, model and variant details so offers for the same product stay together.

02

2. Collection

A newly discovered product remains unpublished during its collection window while available retailer and official-brand facts are stored as separate evidence records. Retailer prose is not copied unless analysis rights are explicitly recorded.

03

3. Product fit

Equivalent fields such as shape, balance, weight, level, material and playing style are normalized across sources. Official facts and multi-source agreement outrank a single conflicting observation.

04

4. Scores

Racket scores are generated by a versioned Padel Scout facts model using reconciled specifications, clearly identified retailer score evidence and current value. They do not claim a physical Padel Scout play test. Hardness is shown as intensity, not quality.

05

Owner ratings

Where a permitted source supplies a numerical customer-rating aggregate, we normalize it to five points, show each retailer source and keep it separate from the Padel Scout model score. Individual review wording, names and profiles are not copied.

06

5. Publication

A product is published only after its collection window, original summary, required identity, offer, image, specifications and reproducible score pass the automated quality gate. Incomplete or conflicting records remain in review.

07

6. Price and independence

The cheapest eligible offer for your market is shown first. Affiliate relationships can fund the site, but never change scores or retailer order.
