Grades are the site; Red Ink is the marking that happens around them. When a vendor rebrands mid-term, when six pricing pages use the same adjective for six different things, when a re-grade moves a letter — the working lands here. Expect infrequent, dated entries: we publish when there is something to mark, not on a content calendar.
Re-grades always get an entry naming what moved and why; the grades themselves live on the review index and recompute together whenever the rubric's script runs. If a note here contradicts a review page, the more recently dated one wins and the older one is due a correction — tell us.

Six marketing pages, one identical promise, zero shared definition of "studio." What the phrase actually launders, what honest enhancer marketing would say instead, and a short obituary for the budget tool that once said it best.

A 308 redirect, script bundles that still answer to the old name, and a pricing page that shows dashes with JavaScript off. What we verified, what we could not, and what it cost the tool on our transparency criterion.
Why so few posts? Because a review desk that blogs daily is a blog desk that reviews occasionally. The marked papers are the product; Red Ink is the margin. When the cohort grows or a grade moves, you will read it here first.
