Editorial team
Who tests and who checks
Every Decoded Signal article names its author and its fact-checker. Two sets of eyes, one shared rule: publish what the test showed, not what the vendor promised.
LEAD REVIEWER
Mara Vance
Mara runs the test accounts and devices behind every Decoded Signal check. They previously worked in consumer-privacy research and write most of our hands-on reviews.
REVIEWS EDITOR
Devon Oakes
Devon fact-checks claims against platform documentation and re-runs tests before publication. They maintain our claim-status records and update history.
