Commercial transparency

The recommendation comes first

SetupMeld may eventually earn a commission from qualifying outbound purchases, but commercial economics are isolated from compatibility and ranking.

The permanent separation rule

Commercial data cannot affect compatibility, eligibility, Fit, tie-breaking, or recommendation order. This includes commission, cookie duration, EPC, conversion rate, revenue, network preference, and whether a tracked link exists.

How future links will work

A future affiliate resolver may attach an eligible destination only after an independent recommendation is complete. If no valid tracked destination exists, the recommendation remains unchanged and may use a neutral reference or no purchase link at all.

What readers should expect

  • Clear disclosure before a purchase action.
  • Compatibility and evidence presented before commerce.
  • Products without monetization remaining eligible for future coverage.
  • “Buy Nothing” remaining a valid future recommendation.
