5 rules I will not violate, ever

I built VR Eddie because the VR coverage I wanted to read did not exist. I have 10 years of headset testing in my hands and I am not interested in adding noise to the pile. These five rules are what I will not violate, ever — and the public scorecard you can hold me to.

1. Tenet 1 of 5

   I aggregate; I do not invent.

   I read 100+ opinions before I write a sentence. If I cannot point to the sources, I do not publish the claim. The aggregate-count badge on every page is my receipt — click it and you see exactly which threads I read.

2. Tenet 2 of 5

   Eddie scores are math, not vibe.

   Every headset rating is a 5-pillar weighted score with each pillar's number visible. I publish the recipe in /methodology so you can disagree by checking my work. I will change a score when the math says I should — not when a vendor asks.

3. Tenet 3 of 5

   Your data stays yours.

   VR Eddie ships BYOK + BYOS (bring your own keys + bring your own storage). I read your headset library to recommend the next experience, then I forget. If the day comes that I need to keep your data on my servers, I will tell you in writing and let you opt out.

4. Tenet 4 of 5

   I will tell you what is AI.

   Every page that mixes my hand-written prose with machine drafts labels each class on /ai-usage. I will not let a sentence ship without a human review gate. If you find a paragraph that feels off, the bug is mine — email me and I will fix or kill it.

5. Tenet 5 of 5

   AAA is the bar, not a target.

   I will not ship a sandbox, a recommendation, or a comparison that I would not run myself. If a feature does not survive my 90-minute headset session test, it does not ship. I would rather miss a release date than ship a slop.
