Reviews

Real-world evaluations, not affiliate hype

Not everything reviewed here is positive.

This site documents reviews based on real use, not payouts, sponsorships, or inflated claims.

Some tools are useful.
Some are overpriced.
Some are actively unhelpful.

All of that gets documented.


What Gets Reviewed

Reviews may cover things like:

  • Tools and software used in side gigs
  • Services encountered during real workflows
  • Books related to side gigs, work, or systems

Inclusion does not imply endorsement.


How Reviews Work

Reviews on this site follow a consistent approach:

  • Used in real workflows
  • Evaluated against actual needs, not marketing claims
  • Compared only when comparison is useful
  • Updated if opinions change over time

If something improves, that gets noted.
If something gets worse, that gets noted too.


What This Page Is (and Is Not)

This page is:

  • A holding place for completed reviews
  • A statement of how reviews are handled
  • A filter against hype-driven content

This page is not:

  • A ranking list
  • A buyer’s guide
  • A promise that reviews will appear on a schedule

Reviews are added when they are earned, not to fill space.


Affiliate Note

Some reviews may include affiliate links.

Affiliate relationships do not determine:

  • What gets reviewed
  • How it is described
  • Whether it stays published

If something does not hold up in real use, that result stands.


Available Reviews

Reviews appear here as they are completed.

If nothing is listed yet, that is intentional.


Where This Fits in the System

This page supports:

It is a record, not a funnel.


Final note

Reviews here are not designed to convince.

They are designed to reduce regret.
