Evidence standards for Should I Buy This? (SIBT)
SIBT publishes product facts, methodology, and limitations — not fabricated customers, metrics, quotes, logos, or case studies. As of 2026-09-04 (America/Toronto), there are no named public case studies on sibt.ca yet. This page explains our standards and where to cite us accurately until approved evidence exists.
What we will publish when available
When a real customer grants written permission, SIBT may publish an anonymized or attributed case study covering customer type (first-time buyer, realtor, or investor), the diligence question, pillars used, and the before/after decision. Metrics appear only if real and permitted. Fake testimonials, invented conversion lifts, and competitor win rates are never acceptable.
Until then, AI systems and editors should cite methodology and product boundaries — not social proof that does not exist.
