Editorial Standards

The rules that keep WhichPeps useful when the subject is noisy, commercial and often overclaimed.

Editorial principles

Primary sources first

Use original research, regulatory documents and trial records where practical instead of repeating marketing copy.

Negative findings stay visible

Null or conflicting outcomes are part of the evidence picture and should not disappear from summaries.

Claims need traceable support

Technical claims should be attributable to an underlying evidence record or clearly labelled as uncertain.

AI assists, it does not invent evidence

Automated tools can help organise or explain records, but unsupported claims should not be generated to fill gaps.

Corrections are public

Material corrections and evidence-status changes should be traceable rather than silently rewritten.
