Evidence standards

Evidence that shows its work.

EOL evaluates a claim by looking at the quality, relevance, consistency, and limitations of the available evidence—not by counting how often the claim appears online.

EOL evidence standards

Reputable source selection

Prefer traceable medical literature and registered human studies. Source identity and provenance remain attached to the claim.

Evidence consolidation

Bring relevant studies together so reviewers can compare outcomes, populations, methods, conflicts, and limitations rather than judging one article in isolation.

Specialist matching

The planned full-service network brings together 150 doctors across relevant fields. Each claim is routed to reviewers whose expertise fits the subject, and the public review state remains separate from the underlying evidence grade.

Clear, accountable judgments

A claim is recorded as supported (A), uncertain or mixed (B), or not supported (C). EOL shows important caveats and the source trail so users can see why the conclusion was reached.

A, B, and C

What the evidence grade means

The grade records the reviewed claim verdict. Safety, supervision, and who reviewed the public wording remain separate.

ASupported

The reviewed evidence consistently supports the exact claim.

BUncertain or mixed

Evidence is incomplete, inconsistent, or needs more data.

CNot supported

The reviewed evidence does not support the exact claim.
