Standards
Editorial policy
The rules behind how bendiii researches, explains, compares, updates, and corrects its work.
What we publish
bendiii covers movement, wellness, longevity, activewear, fitness events, and active places. We aim to answer a defined reader question with enough context to make a useful decision—not to manufacture certainty where evidence is limited.
Sources and health claims
For health and performance claims, we prefer official guidance, systematic reviews, peer-reviewed research, and primary documentation. We identify uncertainty, distinguish association from causation, and avoid turning a group average into a promise for one person. Sources are listed on the article when they materially support the piece.
Products, rankings, and comparisons
A product roundup is not automatically a hands-on review. We state the basis for a ranking or comparison and use official specifications, disclosed testing, construction details, current availability, and clearly identified editorial criteria. We do not claim first-hand testing unless it actually occurred.
Dates and updates
The published date records when an article first appeared. A visible updated date is added when a material fact, recommendation, format, or section changes—not for cosmetic edits. Event rules, prices, products, and medical guidance can change, so readers should also verify time-sensitive details with the primary source.
Corrections
We correct factual errors when we confirm them. Material corrections update the article and its modified date; minor spelling or formatting fixes may not receive a note. Send the article URL, the disputed passage, and supporting evidence to editors@bendiii.com.
Commercial independence
Editorial coverage and partnership conversations are separate. If bendiii introduces affiliate links, gifted products, sponsored work, or another material commercial relationship, that relationship will be disclosed where readers encounter the content. Payment does not buy a positive editorial conclusion.
Editorial tools
Digital and automated tools may assist research organization, drafting, checking, formatting, and production. They are not treated as evidence. bendiii remains responsible for the claims published on the site and links readers to the underlying sources used to support them.
