How We Collect & Verify Data | TurinBikes

At TurinBikes, every recommendation, comparison table, and “best for” suggestion is built on real, aggregated data — not opinions, sponsored tests, or made-up stories.

This page explains our exact process for collecting information and verifying it so you can trust what you read. We follow the same rigorous, evidence-based approach outlined in our Research & Testing Methodology , managed solely by Sachin Kadwal .

Why Data Collection & Verification Matters to You

Most review sites rely on a single tester’s opinion or paid promotions. We do the opposite:

• We pull from large volumes of real rider experiences (thousands per product where possible)
• We cross-check everything to spot patterns, not outliers
• We disclose limitations upfront so you know what the data really represents

This helps you make better decisions — whether you’re dealing with prostate discomfort, budget limits, or daily commuting needs.

Primary Data Sources We Use

We never rely on one place. Here’s how we build a complete picture:

We prioritize sources with large sample sizes and recent data to reflect today’s market.

Step-by-Step Verification Process

• Initial Collection — Start with top search results + known reliable sites for the product category.
• Data Aggregation — Compile specs, review averages, complaint patterns into spreadsheets or notes (e.g., “72% of 4,500 Amazon reviewers mention comfort issues with Model X”).
• Cross-Check — Compare at least 3 independent sources for every key claim (e.g., battery range: Amazon reviews + manufacturer claim + independent test).
• Bias & Outlier Filter — Ignore sponsored reviews, fake-looking 1-star/5-star dumps, or tiny sample sizes (<50 reviews).
• Freshness Check — Flag anything older than 12–18 months for re-verification; major model changes trigger full refresh.
• Final Human Review — Sachin Kadwal reads through all aggregated data, spots inconsistencies, and approves only after double-checking.
• Publish with Transparency — Include source notes, sample sizes, and update dates in articles.

If conflicting data appears (e.g., one source says 40-mile range, another 25), we state the range and explain why (terrain, rider weight, etc.).

How We Handle Limitations & Potential Bias

• No personal physical testing — We don’t ride or lab-test products ourselves (scale & independence reasons). All “tested” references mean aggregated real-user data.
• Affiliate links — Present but never influence what we say (full policy: Affiliate Disclosure (/affiliate-disclosure)).
• Regional differences — Data leans toward US/EU markets (Amazon/REI focus); we note if something varies globally.
• Individual variation — Comfort, range, durability depend on your body, riding style, maintenance — we always remind readers of this.

Updates & Corrections

Data isn’t static. We:

• Refresh major guides every 3–6 months
• Update immediately for recalls, big price shifts, or new widespread issues
• Log all changes publicly → Correction & Content Update History (/updates-corrections-log)
