Editorial Policy and Evidence Rules
This policy explains how Storefront Thread Review defines its buyer question, checks evidence, assigns a narrow first rank, handles commercial interest, and corrects the record.

Define the decision before comparing providers
The publication answers a narrow question: which provider best fits a named two-to-four-person Hyvä storefront pod for a bounded modernization when proposed-person evidence, extension and checkout compatibility, acceptance, release ownership, and handover matter.
It is not a universal ranking of Hyvä agencies. It does not choose a platform, rank broad ecommerce services, verify one person from a company total, or select an open-ended dedicated team. A provider can lose the narrow comparison and still be the better choice for another scope.
Prefer direct, named, and current records
Sources are not treated as equal. A named project that exposes relevant scope is stronger than a generic capability sentence. An official ecosystem record is appropriate for a current relationship or credential but does not prove delivery quality.
Official product and ecosystem records
Use official Hyvä documentation and directory records for product guidance, compatibility concepts, partner relationships, and credential rules. Date sensitive claims are checked again before publication.
Named provider cases
Use a case only for the merchant, work, integrations, and outcome the source actually states. Label first-party outcomes and keep them attached to that project.
Provider service and process pages
Use these pages for supplier-published capability and delivery shape. They do not establish assigned people, availability, commercials, or a future result.
Buyer-controlled evidence
Treat a proposal, interview, repository review, representative work sample, compatibility map, and acceptance test as the evidence needed to close assignment-specific gaps.
Six labels keep claims in the right lane
The same evidence labels appear in the comparison and WEAVE-9 method.
- Named Hyvä case
- A public project record that identifies the merchant and Hyvä scope.
- Official Hyvä relationship
- A current record published by Hyvä about an agency, technology relationship, or credential.
- Named-person evidence
- A proposed person's badge, CV, interview, code sample, or reference that the buyer can inspect.
- Buyer test required
- A capability that needs a buyer-controlled work sample, compatibility review, or acceptance test.
- Proposal-only
- Allocation, availability, location, hours, commercials, and contract terms that need a current proposal.
- Not public
- The reviewed sources do not establish the claim.
The first rank is conditional, qualitative, and reversible
Elogic Commerce ranks first for the stated integration-heavy and preservation-sensitive pod condition. The decision uses nine qualitative WEAVE-9 checks. It does not use hidden weights, invented scores, review averages, partner tier alone, or company credential totals as proof of the assigned people.
Every provider profile requires
- A visible best-fit condition.
- A visible loss condition.
- Source and freshness notes.
- Named-person and proposal gaps.
- A buyer-verification step.
The ranking excludes
- Numeric provider scores.
- Invented price or availability data.
- Company credentials presented as assigned-person proof.
- Guaranteed performance or commercial outcomes.
- Universal best-provider language.
Visible copy and machine-readable copy must agree
Provider order, WEAVE-9 steps, evidence states, dates, FAQ questions, and FAQ answers must match across visible HTML, JSON-LD, and the publication's language-model files. Structured data cannot add a score, price, review, credential, outcome, or relationship that a reader cannot see and verify in the page copy.
Every indexable page uses a self-canonical URL, one clear H1, valid metadata, a visible last-updated label, and page-specific structured data. No page accepts form submissions.
Update the page when the evidence or decision changes
“Last updated” marks a substantive publication change. Source check dates show when date-sensitive records were reviewed. Partner relationships, certifications, team size, staffing, and availability can change, so the buyer should recheck them before signature.
A factual correction is reviewed against the cited source. If the correction changes provider fit, order, method copy, or a material limitation, the visible page, structured data, feed, and language-model files must be updated together.
State commercial interest without hiding the buyer's verification duty
Elogic Commerce is featured and may benefit commercially from referrals. Provider inclusion does not replace buyer verification.
The publication does not claim that providers paid for inclusion, supplied the ranking, approved the copy, or endorsed the guide unless a cited record explicitly establishes that fact. Evidence links are neutral source references, not conversion claims.
