Editorial policy

This page explains how Crafter Critique articles are produced and what you can rely on.

Use of AI

Articles on Crafter Critique are researched and drafted with the help of AI tools, and are reviewed before they are published. AI assistance can still introduce errors, so we check specifications and prices against manufacturer pages where we can, and we correct mistakes when we find them or when readers report them.

What our reviews are based on

Each review is based on desk research: manufacturer specifications and documentation, published user reviews, and other sources that we link or name. We do not claim hands-on testing unless an article says so explicitly. We do not invent personal experience, and we do not publish fake reviews or testimonials.

Independence and money

We currently have no advertising, no affiliate links and no paid placement. Products are not ranked in return for payment or free samples. If any of this changes, we will disclose it here and in the affected articles.

Accuracy, updates and corrections

Prices and product ranges change, so treat prices as indicative and check the seller. Where we update an article in a meaningful way we will say so. To report an error, contact us; we will fix it and note the change.
