How Everyday Loadout works
- 01
Normalized
Every brand’s specs converted to the same units and definitions, so a 24 L pack means the same thing everywhere.
- 02
Sourced
Each value links to its source, with a confidence level. When sources disagree, we say so.
- 03
Honest about AI
AI helps write summaries, but only from verified data. No invented hands-on impressions.
