How we verifySee the proof workflow.Open this for source collection, claim classification, and approval rules.
How we verify
Category claims stay qualified until evidence is in.
Source collected
Brand, retailer, certification, support, or archive evidence is stored before a public recommendation can appear.
Claim classified
This category is treated as product-line evidence required, so claim wording stays narrow until evidence supports it.
Approval locked
Drafts, rejected items, and approved-unpublished products stay private. Published products carry disclosure, source count, and last checked date.
Internal records hidden
Drafts, research candidates, needs-review records, approved-unpublished products, and rejected items stay out of this public category view.

Buyer questions
Honest answers, without inventing product facts.
What does Made in USA mean for this category?
AHP does not broaden origin wording. Public language follows the source record and may distinguish made, assembled, sourced, imported materials, or brand-claimed wording.
What should buyers verify?
What exact product line is being evaluated?
What claims need caution?
Brand-wide claims, retailer-only wording, stale product pages, and claims without a last checked date need caution before purchase decisions.
How does AHP qualify products?
A product must pass the approval workflow before appearing here. Verification badges reflect the stored status and do not create new origin claims.
