Editorial standards

These are the rules every article on The Father Standard must pass before it is published.

Sourcing

• Every statistic, percentage, or research claim links to a primary source: peer-reviewed research, government data, or the original institution.
• We do not write "studies show" without linking the study.
• Sources are listed at the end of each article.

AI use, disclosed

We use AI tools in research and drafting. Every article is reviewed, edited and fact-checked by a human before publication. AI never invents sources, quotes, or people on this site.

Corrections

If we got something wrong, write to us via the contact page. Verified errors are corrected in the article with a note.

What we never publish

• Medical, legal or mental-health advice. We are a publication, not a clinic. See the disclaimer.
• Invented authors, fake credentials, or AI-generated headshots.
• Content designed for search engines instead of the man reading it.
