Editorial policy
How Kondor Phone buying guides choose topics, name authors, separate desk judgment from sourced facts, and record updates.
Buying guides on Kondor Phone are written for shop buyers. They are not a live inventory feed.
Topic selection
We publish a guide when a desk question repeats: how to read a grade, which accessory lines turn, what to confirm before an export lot leaves.
Sourcing
Public product facts should cite a primary page when the claim is specific (a standard, a manufacturer policy, a documented grade term). Desk practice is labeled as desk practice.
Authorship and review
Each article names an author. A second review is used when the lot language could be mistaken for a guarantee.
Updates
A material change gets an updated date. A correction changes the sentence that was wrong. We do not silently invert a conclusion.
Frequently asked questions
Are the buying guides a live stock list?
No. Guides explain how to read a lot. Quantities and prices come from the trade desk in a separate message.
Who is accountable for a guide?
Each article names an author. Material changes may also name a reviewer and a review date.
