3. How findings were organised
All evidence was tagged to one of 15 purchase-decision dimensions from the moisturizer Playbook:
Hydration intensity / 强保湿持久 · Non-greasy texture / 不油腻 · Works under makeup / 妆前不卡粉不搓泥 · Gentle for sensitive / 温和不刺激 · Anti-aging / 抗老紧致 · Barrier repair / 屏障修复 · Oil control for oily skin / 油皮控油 · Formula stability / 配方稳定性 · …
For each (source × dimension), we asked claude-haiku-4-5 to produce a one-sentence finding that must contain a ratio number (“4 of 6”, “All 8”) derivable from the actual evidence rows. Findings without ratio numbers fail our spam-check gate and don’t reach this page.
4. Freshness
- Most recent evidence scraped: 4 days ago
- Findings last computed by LLM: 4 days ago
Pages are re-crawled when evidence ages past category-specific thresholds. See methodology for refresh policy.
Besides is a research tool, not an editorial publication. The numbers above describe how this specific page was assembled. No human beauty-editor reviewed individual quotes — but every page must pass structural quality checks (originality, source diversity, content depth) before it’s allowed on the site.
