Editorial policy

Evidence labels

Specification records describe manufacturer-published facts for an identified model or variant. Carry-rule records cite the responsible airline, museum or venue. Review analysis attributes observations to the original publisher and preserves sample, version and date limitations.

Third-party review analysis is not an original CarryFacts hands-on review. Manufacturer images are not test evidence. We do not turn another publisher’s score into a CarryFacts rating.

Analysis and automation

Collection and analysis can use automated tools and model assistance. Generated summaries must remain tied to their linked evidence; model output alone does not verify a measurement, ownership, performance or fit. Unsupported fields remain unknown.

Original hands-on findings require documented physical testing, objects, closure, access and on-body records. None have been published yet.

Dates and updates

A source check date records when evidence was checked. It does not mean the manufacturer changed its specification on that date. An original source publication date, source update date and CarryFacts publication date describe different events. Historical reviews may concern an earlier version.

Comparisons and disclosures

Comparisons keep units consistent and explain missing values, strengths and trade-offs supported by the sources. A size match is an initial check, not guaranteed admission or object fit.

Commercial relationships with listed brands have not yet been published. Inclusion in the library is not a disclosure of a relationship or endorsement.
