How We Label Evidence
No dressing up weak findings as strong ones. Every source carries an honest tier.
Established
Mature, replicated, or supported by strong converging evidence.
Emerging
Promising but early -- limited, small, inconsistent, or preclinical.
Contested
Credible disagreement, conflicting findings, or disputed interpretation.
Traditional
Historical, cultural, or lineage-based. Important context, not clinical proof.
