Methodology

Useful advice should show its work.

KukuKoo starts with deterministic device and trip facts, adds an editorial recommendation, and exposes uncertainty instead of hiding it behind a single “best” label.

1

Collect only decision inputs

The current checker uses purchase region, phone family, trip length, group size and functional needs. It does not ask for a passport number, legal name or account.

2

Apply explicit rules

Compatibility uncertainty, the need for a local number, hotspot requirements and group context each add visible reasons to the result. The recommendation engine is tested independently from the interface.

3

Attach provenance

Externally sourced facts record publisher, URL, retrieval time, effective date when known, review date and review status. High-risk claims are not silently auto-published.

4

Separate usefulness from commission

Future affiliate links will be labeled. Cheapest, easiest and most reliable remain different dimensions; commission cannot secretly determine one opaque ranking.
