Commercial transparency
Affiliate links should never be a hidden part of the answer.
When a public Piecefolio page links to a merchant, the commercial relationship and the evidence behind the recommendation stay separate.

The current catalogue includes proof-bound Amazon affiliate links for six exact editions, alongside untagged official manufacturer links. Amazon links are visibly marked as paid links.

The plain-language disclosure
In the intended public service, some outbound merchant links will be affiliate links. If you follow one and make a qualifying purchase, the site operator may receive a commission. Using an affiliate link should not increase the price you pay.
A concise disclosure will appear close to purchase links as well as on this page. Monetized links will be marked with rel="sponsored".
What compensation does not buy
- A merchant cannot buy a more favorable evidence summary or confidence band.
- Commission rate does not turn a probable edition match into an exact match.
- Payment does not remove disagreement, stale-offer warnings, or a useful non-paying option.
- Manufacturer and merchant claims remain labelled as such; they do not become independent reviewer evidence.
- The site does not publish an invented star rating to make an offer more persuasive.
How offers are presented
An offer belongs to a merchant and exact-edition match record, not to the evidence consensus. The page should identify the merchant, region, displayed price, availability, observation date or freshness, and match confidence before an outbound action.
Price, stock, shipping, taxes, returns, and the final product identity must be checked on the merchant site. Piecefolio is not the seller, does not process payment, and cannot guarantee that an observed offer remains available.
Ranking and selection
Discovery and comparison should be led by relevance to the stated user need, evidence quality, exact-edition confidence, and offer usefulness. Commercial coverage is a publication requirement for purchase-focused pages, but it is not evidence that a puzzle is better.
When commission, sponsorship, paid placement, or a supplied product affects presentation, that relationship must be labelled at the point where it matters. The current project does not accept paid rankings.
Tracking
Amazon links carry the approved Associates Tracking ID. The site does not overwrite that ID with per-click identifiers. Cloudflare Web Analytics measures aggregate page traffic and performance; it does not receive Piecefolio edition, offer, price, or per-click identifiers.
