“While the products I evaluate seem complex to many people, my goals are quite simple,” says Steve Kruschen. “I want to help consumers say things like: ‘Oh, I get it now;’ ‘That makes sense;’ ‘I didn’t know that;’ ‘Now I understand it better;’ ‘That’s a neat product;’ or maybe even, ‘No, I don’t really want something like that after all.’“
