Write a review for a product you cannot test directly

Be precise about evidence when first-hand access is unavailable.
Label the type of article
If you can verify pricing and documentation but cannot use the product, describe the piece as a documented comparison or overview. Avoid claims about usability, reliability, or speed without evidence.

Verify the reader’s decision criteria
Check the actual plan, required features, export formats, and any terms that would change fit. Date the sources and note missing details. If a claim comes from the vendor, make that clear.
Give the reader a way to check
Link to the relevant documentation and suggest a task the reader can perform in a trial where available. Update the article if you later gain hands-on access.
