Questions

Questions

One question, one direct answer, with the reasoning underneath.

This is the fastest layer of the site. If you have a single specific thing you want to know — whether insulin means a rating, how long after a stroke you can apply, whether vaping counts as smoking — start here rather than with a full condition page.

Every answer opens with the short version in the first forty words. If that is all you need, you can stop reading there. What follows explains why, and links to the page that covers the subject properly.

How these are grouped

Questions sit in clusters under the condition or product they belong to, and every one links up to its parent page. That parent page is the canonical treatment; these are the specific things people ask on the way to it.

Terms used in the answers are defined in the glossary, and the first mention of any defined term links straight through to it.

If your question is not here

Two other places to look.

Guides go deeper on one angle — an application walkthrough, a staging system explained, what changed in a particular market and when.

Condition and product pages are the full treatment, and they are linked from the top of every cluster above.

If none of those covers it, ask us through the contact page. Questions readers actually send are where most of this section came from, and we would rather answer a real one than guess at what people want to know.

We do not give advice on what you personally should buy — that is regulated, and we are a publisher rather than an agency. What we can do is explain how the thing works, which is usually what people are actually asking for. Our editorial policy sets out where that line sits and why.
