Mike Hunter
Aerospace Engineer · Founder & Reviewer, Verdict
Aerospace engineer based in Florida with twelve-plus years designing systems for a major aerospace and defense manufacturer, a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and a University of Central Florida graduate. I review consumer products the same way I evaluate engineering claims — by tracing every rating back to the source data.
Background
I've spent twelve-plus years as an aerospace engineer designing systems for a major aerospace and defense manufacturer, I'm a University of Central Florida graduate, and I hold a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. The short version: most of my career has been spent staring at data and arguing about whether it actually means what people claim it means. Verdict is me pointing that same skepticism at consumer products.
How I review
Every rating on Verdict traces back to a named, independent source — professional review publications, YouTube reviewers, and Reddit buyer reports. I aggregate the numeric scores, synthesize the recurring strengths and complaints, and hand-check the output before anything goes live. No rating exists on this site that you can't click through and verify yourself. The full process is on the methodology page.
