Hi Everyone, I noticed there is a initiative to put together a recommendation list based on testing and reviews so I thought I would help however I can. I noticed there is currently no real SOP (standard operating procedure) or template for reviewing so thought I would give it a go and offer up something to hopefully get a solid template that we can all use to compare apples to apples.

Again, hopefully this helpful and please offer up changes, additions, redactions etc..lets get it right.
