The Team
TrueAction is written by a small group of reviewers who each stay in their lane, audio, mobile, displays, storage, and the smart home, so the person scoring a product is the one who follows that category most closely. Every guide is researched and written by a named reviewer and checked against the sources in our testing standards.
Reviewers
Chris built SoundGuys from a blog into one of the most measurement-driven audio sites around, serving as executive editor and now running its data, testing, and research. He cares about real noise-cancelling depth, codec behavior, and the watt-hours a power bank actually returns, the numbers most write-ups skip.
Lisa has reviewed mobile tech full-time since 2001 and founded MobileTechReview, where she is editor in chief. She works in price bands rather than flagships and judges phones, tablets, and monitors on brightness, endurance, charging, and how long the software support actually runs.
Dave is the reviewer behind Dave2D, known for clean, no-hype coverage of laptops and PC hardware. He separates sustained performance from burst, reads the spec-sheet small print, and leans on real-world testing over headline numbers.
Stacey has covered technology for two decades (Fortune, MIT Tech Review, IEEE Spectrum) and created the Stacey on IoT newsletter and the Internet of Things Podcast. She tracks which connected gadgets earn their place and which just add another app and a subscription.
How a review gets made
Two reviewers co-own each guide, from research to score. Between them they pull the figures that decide the verdict from the manufacturer's published specs and any independent lab data that exists, weigh the tradeoffs that matter in that category, and argue the score out before it publishes. Prices are recorded as dated ranges, and anything we cannot confirm is softened rather than guessed.
Independence
No manufacturer or retailer pays for coverage, a score, or a spot on a list, and none of them reviews a piece before it goes live. Our standards for sourcing, testing, and corrections are public in the testing standards. Want us to cover something, or spotted an error? See contact and suggest a product.
