THE TONE DESK / editorial policy

How the desk reads a claim

Understand our approach to product identity, study context, commercial terms and research updates.

Use the source that answers the question

Manufacturer pages can establish what is advertised. They cannot independently prove the quality of care received or a typical clinical result. We distinguish product identity, care access, commercial terms and evidence, using primary sources and official guidance where available.

Retain unresolved differences

A monthly display does not always describe the amount charged today. A familiar ingredient does not identify the full preparation. If the source leaves a gap or contains a conflict, we keep that question visible instead of inventing a resolution. The CoreAge review includes a current example.

Do not invent review experience

No article here claims that our team used a prescription, completed a consultation or verified a customer’s outcome. We do not give clinician approval or patient-star ratings. Commercial placement scores are publisher preferences, with their meaning explained on the disclosure page.

Date the actual work

Article update dates describe editorial revisions. Individual source dates describe successful access. A blocked or unreadable source retains its earlier date and any relevant limitation. This is not continuous monitoring; offers and formulas can change after publication.

Corrections and connections

Source links sit beside the relevant claims and in the register. Contextual links connect related records without treating them as proof of one another. Send a URL and the proposed correction through contact so the team can examine the original evidence.
