    {
      "question": "Do you accept free samples from chip makers?",
      "answer": "Occasionally, and only for an article that explicitly tests that chip. Every article that relies on a chip supplied free by the chip maker carries a disclosure in the sources block. Free samples never trigger coverage; we choose topics based on reader demand and editorial calendar, and then source chips (paid or sampled) to match."
    },
    {
      "question": "Are your price ranges negotiable?",
      "answer": "Yes: every price figure in an editorial article is indicative, based on typical volumes, and changes with chip availability and copper / polymer pricing. Quotes are priced per enquiry on the relevant product page."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do your writers own stock in any vendor you cover?",
      "answer": "Editorial contributors are asked to disclose equity positions in any chip maker, reader OEM, lock maker or standards-body company they write about. Disclosed holdings are listed on the contributor's entry at /about/review-board/. ProudTek itself is a privately-held manufacturer with no outside equity investors as of this publication date."
    },
    {
      "question": "What do I do if I think an article is unduly promotional?",
      "answer": "Send the URL and the specific passage to editors@proudtek.com. We route it to a reviewer who was not involved in the original article and publish the outcome (either a correction, a disclosure update, or a written justification) at /about/corrections/."
