Editorial standards

These are the rules the site is built to. They are enforced in the codebase, not just stated here — a page that breaks the sourcing rule cannot be published.

Every page is sourced

Each article must list at least one real, linked source before the site will build. Sources are shown in full at the end of every page, not hidden behind superscripts. Where the evidence is weak, contested or preliminary, the page says so rather than rounding it up into a recommendation.

Every page is dated twice

Pages show when they were first published and when a human last verified the facts on them. A page that has not been checked recently says so; it is not silently presented as current.

Claims we do not make

• No claim that any product prevents, treats or cures any condition.
• No testimonials, case reports or before-and-after results.
• No dosing protocols and no sourcing or purchasing guidance.
• No implication that regulated or prescription substances are freely available.

In New Zealand, a product with a therapeutic purpose is a medicine under the Medicines Act 1981, and unapproved medicines may not be advertised — a restriction that expressly covers testimonials and influencer content. The Advertising Standards Authority's Therapeutic and Health Advertising Code adds that only medicines with Medsafe consent may be advertised, and that health products may make health-support claims only where substantiated. This site is written to stay well inside those lines.

Corrections

Errors are fixed in the open. When a factual correction is made, the page's updated date changes and the correction is noted in the build log for that week. If you find something wrong, email you@example.com.

How AI is used

Research, drafting assistance, and technical work on the site are AI-assisted. Facts, sources and judgements are checked by a person before publication, and no page is published as generated text. Where a page contains original measurement or first-hand experience, that part is the author's own.
