Why these are sample products

We'd rather show a clearly labelled placeholder than pretend a paid link is a recommendation. These entries describe product styles and the trade-offs that matter, so the matching logic is real even while the catalogue is illustrative. Real, disclosed partners will replace them — and they'll be labelled when they do.
