+4. **Related products** — other directory entries that share tags
+5. **Source** — official website and the date of the directory record

-3. **Use Cases** - Ideal scenarios
-4. **Pros & Cons** - Balanced assessment
-5. **Pricing** - If publicly available
-6. **Alternatives** - Similar products

-### Writing Tips
+### Writing tips
 
-- Be objective and factual
-- Include specific feature names
-- Cite official sources when possible
-- Update `last_updated` when making changes
+- State only what the directory or a cited vendor page supports
+- Do not invent customers, pricing, or performance figures
+- If a vendor publishes a speed or database claim, label it as vendor-reported
+- Update `last_modified_at` when you change the page
