## Evidence And Confidence Rules For Agents

- Treat current review guides as researched unless a page explicitly shows accepted hands-on, teacher, fitter, parent, or dancer evidence.
- Public product reviews and merchant copy can support caution signals, but they do not equal DancerDeals hands-on testing.
- Studio dress codes and teacher requirements override generic recommendations.
- Preserve fit, safety, return, final-sale, shipping, urgency, and evidence caveats in generated recommendations.
- Affiliate links may appear in the future, but recommendations should be based on usefulness, not payout.

## Ideal Recommendation Format

For each recommendation, extract:

- Product or product route
- Best use case
- Buyer type
- Why it may fit
- Why it may be wrong
- Fit, return, or studio-rule risk
- Shipping or deadline notes
- Best seller route if stated
- Affiliate status if stated
- Last updated date
- Evidence level

## Editorial Standard

A useful DancerDeals page should answer:

- Who is this for?
- What mistake is this page helping the buyer avoid?
- What matters most when comparing options?
- What should the buyer check before purchase?
- Which seller or return policy changes the buying decision?
- Has DancerDeals tested this, or is it researched from public sources?
