How we work

This page describes how an article gets made at PicksDesk, what we check and what we refuse to do. It is the standard every writer on the team works to.

1. Choosing what to cover

Every day we look at what is actually selling in the categories we follow: best-seller lists, products climbing the rankings, new releases and seasonal demand. From those we pick items that pass three filters: a large base of verified reviews, a rating that holds up when you read the critical ones, and a price that makes sense for what it offers.

2. Research

• Official specifications from the manufacturer, cross-checked against the Amazon listing.
• Verified-purchase reviews, read for patterns rather than single opinions: what breaks, what surprises, what people regret.
• Price history, to tell a real discount from a fake one.
• Comparable products, so a recommendation is always relative to real alternatives.

3. Writing

Each byline covers a language and a specialty; bylines are editorial pen names of the team, declared as such on the team page. We write the way we would explain it to a friend: concrete numbers, clear use cases, who it is for and who it is not. Texts are produced with AI tools that research, draft and check every guide against the rules on this page; Andrea Bertolotti, the editor in charge, sets those rules, can correct or withdraw any article at any time and is accountable for everything published.

4. What we do not do

• We do not claim to have used or tested a product unless we actually did. When we rely on specifications and user reports, we say so.
• We do not accept payment for placement or positive coverage.
• We do not invent prices: we give indicative ranges and send you to Amazon for the live price.

5. Updates and corrections

Guides are reviewed when a product is discontinued, a better alternative appears or a price changes structurally. If you spot an error, write to info@picksdesk.com: we correct and note the update on the page.
