Trust-Building Rules (built into generation)

1. Always include drawbacks — one-sided reviews destroy trust
2. Specifics over superlatives — "saved 2 hours" > "amazing product"
3. Personal experience — "I used it for X" > "this product does X"
4. Include "not for everyone" — exclusion builds credibility
5. Honest verdict — sometimes "don't buy" IS the recommendation
