Editorial Principles

Accuracy and sources

For time-sensitive facts, we prioritize current official and primary sources. We separate verified facts, interpretation of those sources, Method & Miles judgment, and assumptions, with links that let readers inspect material evidence.

Repackaging sources is not enough

We do not create a new article merely by summarizing, translating, rearranging, or turning existing material into a generic list. Each article needs a clear Method & Miles contribution: a documented first-party test, an original calculation model, a decision matrix, a market-specific decision framework, or a reusable template.

Who — editorial responsibility

Readers should be able to see who is responsible for the work. When no verified individual author applies, we identify Method & Miles Editorial rather than inventing a name, biography, or credential.

How — research and AI assistance

AI may help organize research, compare material, draft, and run quality checks. It does not replace source verification or final editorial judgment. We do not claim a hands-on test we did not perform. Hypothetical examples are labeled, and first-party claims are tied to actual evidence.

Why — a concrete reader decision

We do not publish to fill a calendar or capture a keyword. The article should help a reader make a real decision: choose a product, compare a cost, change a workflow, book a trip, or avoid a preventable mistake.

Public-interest topics still need depth

We can lead with widely discussed products, platforms, destinations, or policy changes. The value must go beyond the headline by showing who is affected, what changes, and under which conditions the reader should choose differently.

Independent language editions

Korean and English editions may share research, but they are not mechanically translated. Examples, prices, availability, regulation, terminology, and next steps are developed for each audience and market.

Corrections, updates, and recommendations

Material errors are corrected promptly and outdated guidance is updated or retired. Recommendations explain fit, limitations, and alternatives rather than presenting one option as universally best.
