# ExDoll editorial methodology > How ExDoll separates specifications, editorial reasoning, illustrative examples and the evidence needed for a genuine physical product review. Source: https://exdoll.org/methodology/ Updated: 2026-10-21 --- ExDoll writes for adults who need a clearer way to evaluate product information. Our editorial method begins with the decision a reader faces, then distinguishes evidence from interpretation. A useful guide should help you ask better questions even when it cannot identify a suitable product for you. ## Evidence categories Manufacturer manuals establish what a manufacturer instructs for a particular product. A listing establishes what a seller represents at a particular time. A technical material document explains a material family or process. These sources have different scopes, and none automatically proves the quality of a finished assembly. We treat editorial recommendations as reasoning rather than measurements. Asking a buyer to compare unpacked weight with a handling plan is advice. Stating a product's weight requires an attributed specification or a documented measurement. Keeping that distinction visible helps prevent an apparently precise article from making unsupported claims. ## Physical assessments and rankings The current buying library is based on documents and editorial analysis. It does not contain a laboratory ranking or an assertion that we handled every product in a category. A future physical assessment would need to name the configuration, state how it was obtained and describe the relevant observations. A score should not appear simply because a comparison page looks more persuasive with numbers. Before a ranking is useful, readers need to understand what was compared and under which conditions. We favor a transparent limitation over an invented winner or a decimal rating without an assessment method. ## Figures, dates and sources Hypothetical calculations are marked as examples. They explain a worksheet or trade-off and should not be read as current prices or measured specifications. An article's update date should change after a meaningful editorial revision. A new website build does not, by itself, mean every page has been rechecked. Sources appear alongside the relevant explanation or in a concise evidence note. For example, [HEXPOL's introduction to TPE](https://www.hexpol.com/tpe/resources/tpe-academy/what-is-tpe/) explains a material family; it does not evaluate a specific adult product. Readers should retain the current documentation for the model they actually purchase. ## Images, uncertainty and commercial influence The homepage catalog uses selected product photographs and names from [ExDoll's store](https://www.exdollofficial.com/), drawn from the dataset checked on 20 October 2026. Local image copies were prepared on 21 October 2026. A listing is not a stock guarantee, and a photograph does not establish a material, dimension or tested performance. The hero is a supplied styling image and appears only there. The guide pages use text-led layouts; the former generated material-sample illustrations have been removed. Neither styling imagery nor a manufacturer photograph is evidence of a physical assessment or an achievable custom specification. An unknown remains an unknown even when an image looks realistic. Affiliate income must not be used as evidence for a product claim. Commercial links require disclosure and appropriate link attributes. Our [disclosure policy](/disclosure/) explains that standard. We publish no direct editorial contact details; the [reporting page](/report-abuse/) provides external complaint paths and describes the practical limit this creates for direct correction requests.
