Adam is a character

Adam Osoba is a character. He doesn't have a passport, but his hassles are real. This logbook is written from trips, worn-out gear, badly packed bags and missed connections that actually happened. The narrator is composed, the dates and settings are rearranged, the order of things follows the story, not the calendar. What's told happened.

What hasn't happened is flagged, every time, by the evidence level shown at the top of the article. A product that hasn't been handled says so. Nothing is presented as a test that wasn't one.

Adam's portraits are AI-generated. The text is written by a human, with AI tools used for proofreading and translation. The site is published by Privateer.

The images are AI-generated

Adam's portraits are Images virtuelles ("virtual images"), generated by artificial intelligence. Photographs reworked with the same tools are Images retouchées ("reworked images"). Neither depicts a real person. The two French labels are the regulatory wording used across the site and are not translated.

The links are affiliate links

A product only available on Amazon's French store may still be shown to English-speaking readers: the link label always says so explicitly, the commission stays attributed to the French tag, and nothing is hidden.

What's tested, and what isn't

Every article shows an evidence level in full: owned and used, handled without extended use, not tested but analysed on paper, or not tested but a synthesis of public reports. What got ruled out and why is listed on every product article, with its source. The full method lives on the manifesto.
