Coverage and catalogue scope

What Australian Product Guide currently maintains, what its comparisons cover and what inclusion or absence does not mean.

Coverage principle. Australian Product Guide does not compare every product, brand or retailer available in Australia. Its maintained catalogue is a curated decision set, not a claim of whole-of-market coverage.

Australian Product Guide prefers a maintained, explainable catalogue over a larger collection of thin pages. Coverage expands when Australian Product Guide can support useful decision factors, credible Australian evidence and ongoing maintenance.

Current maintained coverage

Australian Product Guide currently maintains 482 products across 90 populated categories, representing 178 brands. These figures are calculated from the same structured catalogue that powers the live site and update automatically when that catalogue changes.

What Australian Product Guide does not cover

Australian Product Guide does not claim to include every product, every model generation, every retailer or every Australian offer. Products outside Australian Product Guide's maintained catalogue may be excellent choices. A product or brand being absent from Australian Product Guide is not a negative judgement about its quality.

How products and categories enter coverage

Coverage is expanded where Australian Product Guide can define the shopper decision, maintain a useful product set, verify important Australian product or model evidence, and support meaningful comparison or recommendation behaviour. Evidence depth can vary and is disclosed rather than hidden.

Commercial relationships do not define coverage

Affiliate status, commission opportunity, retailer participation and the availability of an exact retailer link do not make a product a better fit and do not add recommendation points. Australian Product Guide may maintain products without an affiliate destination and may omit products despite an available commercial link.

Unpublished and developing coverage

Australian Product Guide may research additional categories or products before publishing them as maintained coverage. A research idea is not presented as active consumer coverage until Australian Product Guide can support it responsibly.

What shoppers should still verify

Because model ranges, sellers, prices, availability and specifications can change, shoppers should verify consequential requirements with the manufacturer or retailer before buying.
