Technology explainers
Every explainer answers the same three questions: what the thing actually is, where it genuinely fits, and where it does not. The third one is the reason these exist. A manufacturer will tell you the first two accurately enough — nobody has a commercial reason to tell you the third.

These are queued, in priority order. Priority is set by purchase value and by how poor the existing independent coverage is. If you run one of these daily, you know things the research does not — that is worth more to this section than another literature review.
