How Colibrim aims to handle product information.
Marketplace usefulness depends on more than collecting a lot of data. Product information should be attributable, internally consistent, readable, and clear about what is known versus what is simply claimed.
1. Product identity comes first
Every product should be matched to the correct name, form and brand before additional facts are attached to it. Information from similarly named products should not be merged simply because the names look alike.
2. Sources should match the fact
Official product materials are generally the best starting point for product-specific facts such as ingredient lists, serving directions, package size, guarantees and current offers. Other sources may be useful for context, but they should not silently replace the primary product source.
3. Claims and facts are different
A product page may contain manufacturer claims, customer opinions and general educational information. Those categories should remain distinguishable. Marketing language should not be rewritten as an established outcome.
4. Reviews need context
Customer feedback can help shoppers understand reported experiences, but it should not be treated as clinical evidence or a guarantee. Colibrim should give more weight to reviews that describe the product used, duration, serving form, specific outcome being judged, and any side effects or limitations mentioned.
5. Pricing can change
Supplement prices, bundles, shipping terms and discounts can change without notice. Marketplace pricing should therefore identify when information was checked and avoid presenting a temporary promotion as a permanent price.
6. Commercial relationships should be disclosed
If Colibrim receives compensation when a shopper follows a marketplace link or completes a purchase, that relationship should be disclosed in a way that is visible and understandable. Commercial relationships should not determine whether a factual product detail is presented accurately.
7. Health information requires restraint
Colibrim is not intended to diagnose disease, prescribe treatment or replace a qualified healthcare professional. Product descriptions should avoid turning promotional claims into medical advice.
8. Corrections should be possible
Brands, users and readers should have a clear way to report a factual error or outdated product detail. When a correction can be verified, the underlying product record should be updated rather than patched inconsistently across multiple pages.
