Methodology — GearPilot Evaluation Framework

Every product on SetupLunio is scored using the GearPilot Evaluation Framework across five criteria: Quality, Ease of Setup, Creator Fit, Value, and Compatibility. Each criterion is weighted and rolled up into a single 0–10 GearPilot Score.

Scores are based exclusively on publicly available specifications, retailer data (Amazon, B&H, Sweetwater), and creator feedback patterns from Reddit (r/podcasts, r/Twitch, r/audioengineering), YouTube review videos, and audio engineering forums. We do not test products personally and we disclose every data source on each review page.

Pricing is re-verified on a rolling cadence. Any review whose pricing was last verified more than seven days ago displays a stale-data warning.
