About Spec & Craft
Spec & Craft (specandcraft.com | @specandcraft) is an independent technical publication and programmatic visualization studio dedicated to auditing consumer hardware specifications against primary patents, laboratory papers, and factory datasheets.
Most hardware buying guides and short-form tech videos repeat manufacturer marketing copy verbatim without inspecting the underlying physics or official PDF manuals.
At Spec & Craft, every script and article begins with a formal specification audit. If a manufacturer claims a microphone has a condenser capsule, we determine whether it is a 1-inch externally polarized gold-sputtered membrane or a 16 mm back-electret capsule—and we log internal contradictions between a brand's web page and its PDF manual.
Rather than reposting copyrighted manufacturer press photos or unverified third-party renders, Spec & Craft constructs original code-driven technical schematics and dimensional comparisons directly from primary datasheets (such as comparing a 3.50 × 2.65 × 0.98 mm Knowles SPH0645 MEMS package against the 6.61–7.50 mm USDA ARS GRIN long-grain rice standard).
Every external archival asset, patent drawing, or public-domain reference used in our video productions is logged in a machine-readable attribution ledger (/brand/ledger.json).
