THE DESK'S CALL
The headline.
Our method: temperature and passes before the maximum claim

ON THE RECORD
What keeps the headline honest.
This is an editorial conclusion from the stated context. It is not a claimed product trial, diagnosis, or universal ranking.
Decision change
Defines a reproducible way to evaluate a heat-protection claim while marking missing data instead of filling the gaps by inference.
Evidence boundary
The full protocol, comparator, primary criteria, sample size and profile, dispersion, and complete report are often not public.
03
What could overturn the headline.
THE COUNTER-CASE
- A result without the matching protocol, product version, or test conditions must remain NOT_OBSERVED or INCONCLUSIVE.
STILL UNREPORTED
- The full protocol, comparator, primary criteria, sample size and profile, dispersion, and complete report are often not public.
- pH, cleansing strength, deposits, friction, breakage, color retention, and scalp measures are rarely provided with comparable methods.
