Evidence and Verification Policy

How we grade evidence and when we suppress conclusions.

This policy defines our evidence hierarchy and status labels — Verified, Provider Reported, Calculated, Historical, Superseded, and Conflicting — and the stale-data rules that suppress conclusions when the underlying evidence lapses. Every figure and claim carries a status and capture date.

Evidence hierarchy

Official agencies and peer-reviewed primary literature rank highest, then FDA labeling, then first-party provider and pharmacy records, then archives, then secondary reporting. Anecdotes count only as limited experience.

Status labels

Verified — confirmed against a first-party or official source. Provider Reported — stated by the provider, not independently confirmed. Calculated — derived by our normalization. Historical / Superseded — retained for the record but not current. Conflicting — sources disagree; the figure is suppressed from rankings.

Stale-data rules

When a price, license, or credential passes its recheck window it becomes Stale and drops out of rankings and conclusions until re-captured. Evidence grades distinguish randomized trials from observational, modeling, animal, commentary, and marketing sources.

Frequently asked questions

What does 'Provider Reported' mean?

The figure comes from the provider's own page and has not been checkout-verified or independently confirmed, so it is shown for transparency but excluded from any verified ranking.
