Desk & Gadgets
Chairs, standing desks, monitor arms, keyboards and the rest of the hardware sold on the promise of a healthier working day. This pillar is mostly about telling the two apart: the changes that measurably alter how a day at a screen feels, and the ones that are expensive placebos with good marketing. Most of this category is sold on claims that were never tested, so the work here is separating what the evidence supports from what the product page asserts. Where a claim rests on a single small trial, or on no trial at all, that gets said plainly rather than smoothed over.
