Archive provenance, spreadsheet row history and agent link verificationMarloes van Dijk

Editor in Chief

Marloes started as a copy editor for a Rotterdam logistics trade paper, where she spent four years checking freight tables before moving to consumer research. She founded this desk in 2021 after watching readers chase spreadsheet rows that had been dead for a year. She owns the archive ledger and the rule that no row enters it without a date and an outcome.

Hands-on ordering tests, fit checks, packaging and agent timingThijs Bakker

Reviews Editor

Thijs spent three years running quality checks for a Rotterdam footwear importer, measuring incoming pairs against spec sheets, before joining the desk in 2022. He orders every featured product, opens parcels on camera and keeps the size ladder. He writes the timing figures readers use to judge whether an old row is still worth pursuing.

Spreadsheet literacy, comparison tables and source translationSanne de Groot

Sanne worked as a research analyst for a Dutch consumer affairs programme, building comparison tables from raw supplier data, before joining the desk in 2022. She rebuilds old sheet structures into readable English tables and checks every claim against a primary record. She maintains the glossary that explains how spreadsheet rows, codes and agent fields relate to each other.
