SaunaPilot aims to publish useful, evidence-led planning information rather than sales copy.
Our editorial principles
- use primary technical and planning sources wherever possible
- separate manufacturer requirements from general planning estimates
- state when evidence is incomplete instead of filling gaps
- keep electrical, fire, structural and planning claims precise
- avoid medical or therapeutic claims
- keep commercial commission out of editorial ranking
Technical evidence
Manufacturer manuals and installation instructions control product-specific clearances, room-volume ranges, power requirements and other installation details. Product pages may support dimensions, included components, warranty or price, but a sales listing does not replace the relevant installation manual where safety or installation is concerned.
Calculator outputs are planning estimates. For example, a general heater-sizing method can help identify a likely range, but the chosen heater manufacturer’s stated room-volume range remains the final product check.
Supplier-readiness states
Ready means the key technical and commercial evidence needed for a firm comparison has been verified. Partial means the product or supplier can be discussed but should not receive a hard selector recommendation. Reference only means it is an example rather than a recommendation-ready option.
Artificial intelligence
AI tools may assist with research organisation, drafting, editing and routine checks. They are not treated as evidence. We do not knowingly invent manuals, technical specifications, first-hand experience or supplier facts, and human approval is required before publication.
Commercial relationships
Affiliate commission or a direct supplier relationship does not upgrade the quality of evidence and has no weighting in editorial ranking. Commercial relationships should be disclosed clearly.
