Evidence standards

Feature updates need states.

New smart frame features often move through announcement, beta, subscription, support-page, and hands-on stages. Feature Lab keeps those states visible so readers do not confuse a launch claim with a verified recommendation.

  • Source-backed: current official, support, or retailer source supports the claim.
  • Needs recheck: useful signal, but not enough detail for a recommendation.
  • Watch item: important category movement, but not a scored review conclusion.
  • Hands-on verified: reserved for features tested directly or through reliable demos.
