[dropcap size=small]O[/dropcap]ne Tech Traveller insights and reviews are always delivered with three criterias in mind: integrity, quality and understanding. They reflect my personal experience during my stay or hands-on time with no influence to scoring from any of invitational, collaborations or complimentary offerings to ensure it reflects the quality of products or services that the general individual(s) would experience. This is especially important of recommended products, places or services which I suggest to readers who ultimately take these into account during their decision-making process.
It is my responsbility to hold integrity and honesty and be accountable to what I say, write or produce. I always aim to communicative a personal experience and convey them in ways that are simple to understand (or demystify technical elements) through written and visual narratives.
For transparency, I have detailed the methodology behind my reviewing process for each division to understand the considerations for each sub-criteria or final score. If you wish to understand a particular review breakdown feel free to get in touch with me. Thanks and Keep Being Awesome, One Tech Traveller
Footwear
Footwear is always a subjective experience due to different sizes, exercise form etc. However the 5-point elements are how I summarise together the footwear for the final verdict.
- Comfort putting it through it’s intended use mileage and how it feels over time
- Fit defining narrow or wide fit, contours around the feet and any pressure points
- Durability how rugged it is over time and highlighting areas of vulnerability
- Design subjective approach to the design intention and how well executed it looks
- Performance across exercise, sports and intended use the affect on performance
Sleep
- Reviews are based on 3 criteria: Experience, Quality and Value
- Scored relative to the official hotel star rating of 1-5 within the country
- Standards differ between countries and are benchmarked to the standards of that country
- Comparable within star rating band; not between accommodation types (hotels vs hostel)
- Experience score considers place and room operation, customer service and fluidity
- Quality score considers amenities, place and room furnishings, dining
- Value considers combined experience, quality and star rating relative to price
Eat
- Reviews are based on 3 criteria: Experience, Quality and Value
- Comparable to other food categories and within rating but not between (i.e. Michelin vs diner)
- Experience score considers restaurant operation, customer service and overall satisfaction
- Quality score considers furnishings, service and importantly food
- Value considers combined experience, quality and menu offerings relative to price
Gear
- A final score is provided as ratings for all gear as products wildly vary (garments to bags)
- Final score takes into consideration: features, aesthetics, performance, value and experience
- These are influenced subjectively depending on personal experience during review period
- Products are reviewed independently from other products unless iterative (generations)
Tech
- A final score is provided as ratings for all gadget as products wildly vary (audio to mobile)
- Final score takes into consideration: function, design, performance, value and experience
