Sourcing rules
- Every clinical claim must be traceable to a primary source.
- News reporting (STAT, Reuters, NYT, CNBC) is acceptable as secondary corroboration but cannot stand alone for clinical claims.
- Manufacturer press releases are primary for pricing and approval-date facts, secondary for clinical claims.
- Citations are timestamped with the date accessed; if a source moves or changes, the version we cited is what we relied on at publication.
