This week’s shortlist
Short lists of what’s actually worth buying.
Max five picks per category. A verdict on everything we test — including what to skip.
Every product gets one of four verdicts
SHORTLISTED
A top pick. Made the final five in a full category test.
WORTH IT
Does what it claims at a fair price. A safe buy.
SITUATIONAL
Right for a specific buyer — and we name who.
SKIP
Don’t. We tell you what to get instead.
The Shortlist Method
We test the category, not the sample.
Full-category tests, published weights, evidence stated on every review.
Max five picks. Always.
If a “best of” has fifteen winners, it has none.
We publish the rejects.
Every shortlist includes The Cut — what didn’t make it, and why.
The Cut
Every shortlist names what didn’t make it — and why.
Everyone monetizes winners. We document the losers, with reasons. It’s the fastest way to know you can trust the winners.
Five picks. Once a week. That’s it.
The week’s shortlist and any verdict changes — no deal spam, no daily emails.
