AI Editorial Policy

How MenCraftCo uses AI tools, where we draw the line, and how our team makes sure every guide is accurate, useful and written for real life.

Last updated: September 15, 2026Applies to: all content on mencraftco.com

Our policy at a glance

  • People choose, write, edit and approve every guide.
  • AI only assists with background research, organizing information and early outlines.
  • Product details and practical claims are checked by hand.
  • AI never invents experiences, reviews or quotes, and never decides our recommendations.
  • Every guide has a named author, and our team is accountable for it.

01Our human-first standard

MenCraftCo exists to give men sharp, practical and real-world style advice. Our readers trust us to tell them what to wear and why it works, so we hold every guide to a human-first standard.

We use AI tools in a limited, supporting role. People decide what we cover, write and shape every guide, check the details and approve it before publishing. No content goes live without human editorial review.

02How we use AI, and how we don’t

We may use AI to help with

  • Background research on a topic
  • Organizing notes, ideas and information
  • Creating early outlines and structure

We never use AI to

  • Publish content without human review
  • Decide which products or outfits we recommend
  • Invent personal experiences, reviews or quotes
  • Serve as the final source for facts or product details

AI is a background tool that helps us work more efficiently. It does not replace the judgment, taste and responsibility of our editorial team.

03Our editorial process

Every guide follows the same steps:

  1. Our team chooses the topicTopics are based on the real questions men have about what to wear and how to wear it.
  2. ResearchWe study wearable outfit combinations and gather background information. AI may assist at this stage.
  3. Writing and shapingOur writer builds the guide with clear, specific advice that explains why each look works.
  4. VerificationWe manually check product details, names and practical claims instead of relying on AI output.
  5. Final editorial reviewEvery article gets a final check for accuracy, clarity and tone, and to remove fluff, before it’s published.

04Accuracy and product information

We check product details and practical advice by hand. However, retailers can change prices, availability and product specifications at any time, so please confirm the details on the retailer’s website before you buy.

Some guides contain affiliate links. These relationships do not change our editorial process, and every recommendation goes through the same human review. Learn more about how we’re funded on our About page and in our Disclaimer.

05Authorship and accountability

Every guide on MenCraftCo is published under a named author, and real people are responsible for what we publish. Our lead writer, Brett Calloway, writes our outfit guides, and our founder, Miles Vance, oversees the quality and direction of everything on the site.

Using AI tools never shifts that responsibility. If a guide carries our name, our team stands behind it.

06Corrections and updates

If you spot an error, outdated advice or anything that doesn’t meet this standard, please tell us through our contact form or by emailing shehrozimran98@gmail.com. Include the article link and what needs fixing.

We review every correction request and update articles when changes are needed.

07Why this matters

The internet is crowded with generic, machine-generated lists and untested advice. We believe the way you dress and present yourself deserves more than a theoretical summary.

By combining helpful technology with human judgment and editorial care, we aim to publish style guidance that is useful, grounded and, most importantly, trustworthy.

08Changes to this policy

As AI tools and our own workflow evolve, we may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when it last changed.
