Product identity comes from evidence, not the picture
Melnti verifies the exact brand and model against current manufacturer or other authoritative product evidence before a catalogue item is treated as verified equipment. Technical specifications are recorded from those sources and should be checked again before purchase or installation.
Public product visuals are presentation assets
A product page may use a Melnti-created editorial product visual rather than the manufacturer’s marketing photograph. A visual helps readers recognize the equipment class and form factor, but it is not a dimensional drawing, compliance certificate or substitute for the official manual.
Manufacturer evidence remains separate
Melnti keeps the official product destination and source evidence with the research record. When a visual is created locally, the visual does not replace the manufacturer evidence used to verify identity, compatibility or specifications.
Accuracy comes before decoration
Melnti’s visual standard favors a clean product-only presentation, neutral background, sensible proportions and no invented badges, accessories, ports or performance claims. If a visual cannot be approved with sufficient confidence, the product should use a safe fallback rather than a misleading recreation.
