Medical Review Process
A medical review here is not a signature on a finished draft. The reviewer checks that every clinical statement matches its cited primary source, that limitations survived editing, and that no sentence reads as advice for an individual reader. No reviewer's name appears on a page they have not read.
What the reviewer actually does
Checks claims against sources, not against plausibility. The reviewer opens the cited paper and confirms the sentence in our draft says what that paper says. Where a figure appears, they confirm which analysis produced it — SURMOUNT-1's two estimands being the standing example.
Confirms limitations survived editing. Limitation sections are what get cut when a draft runs long. The reviewer's job includes checking they are still there and still accurate.
Checks for individual advice. No sentence may read as a recommendation for a reader — no dose, no eligibility verdict, no "you should." This is the failure mode that most often creeps in through otherwise accurate writing.
Checks the direct answer specifically. It is the passage most likely to be extracted and quoted without its context, so it has to be independently accurate and appropriately qualified.
Which pages require review
Any page making a clinical statement: trial reviews, guides describing what a medication does, comparisons touching efficacy or safety, and any journal article discussing evidence. Pricing pages require review where they reference clinical claims — which most do, because dose and evidence drive cost.
Pages that are purely commercial or procedural do not require clinical review, and we do not attach a reviewer's name to them.
The rule that constrains us most
A reviewer's name appears only on pages they have actually reviewed. Not on a section, not sitewide, not by default. A byline that appears automatically is not a review, it is a design element.
Current status, stated plainly
Two reviewers are recorded with NPI numbers. An active NPI establishes identity in the national NPPES registry. It does not establish current state licensure, board certification or credentialing — those are separate records held by separate bodies and must be checked separately.
Those checks have not yet been completed. Until they are, no medically-reviewed byline should publish, and the review dates on this site read as not set rather than displaying a date that would imply work that has not happened.
This is the most significant outstanding item on the site, and we would rather say so here than let a reader infer a level of oversight that is not yet in place.

Questions readers actually ask
Who reviews clinical content here?
Named clinicians, on the specific pages they have read. Two reviewers are recorded; their licensure verification with the issuing boards is outstanding and no medically-reviewed byline publishes until it is.
Is an NPI number proof of licensure?
No. An NPI is an identifier in a national registry. Licensure is granted by a state board and is a separate record.

When quoting a figure, include the capture date shown beside it rather than the date you read this page. A price without its capture date is not a usable citation.
