AI policy
How we use, and do not use, AI
AI drafting is an optional tool in our editorial workflow. It may reorganise facts we have already verified. It may not introduce a fact, and no AI output reaches this site without a named human author and a named reviewer.
Last updated September 1, 2026.
What AI may do here
- Draft a page structure from facts already recorded as source records
- Rewrite our own text for clarity
- Suggest questions readers may still have
- Flag sentences in a draft that are not backed by an attached source
What AI may never do here
- Introduce a measurement, a price, a material composition or a test result
- Describe an experience of wearing a product
- Rewrite another publication’s article into ours
- Generate a review, a rating, a tester or a quote
- Publish anything. AI has no publish permission in our admin tool.
The workflow
- Facts are collected as source records with a URL and an access date
- Facts are normalised into fields on a product or a guide
- A draft may be generated from those approved facts only
- The draft is checked sentence by sentence for claims with no source
- An editor revises it
- Fact check
- Reviewer sign-off
- Publication
Our AI integration is optional in a technical sense as well: the site and the admin tool work fully without any AI provider configured, and the manual editorial workflow is the default path.
Why we do not mass-generate pages
We keep a keyword backlog of several hundred questions. It is a backlog, not a publishing queue. Publishing hundreds of automatically generated pages would degrade the thing this site is for - being able to trust a measurement - and would make the search results worse for the people we are trying to help. Similar questions are answered on one page rather than split across several near-duplicates.
Disclosure
If AI was used in drafting a page, that does not change who is accountable for it: the named author and reviewer are. If you find a statement on this site that no source supports, tell us via the contact form and we will correct it and record the correction in the page’s update history.
