Editorial Policy

How Peak Human Ops sources, verifies, and corrects its content: citation standards, first-person experiment disclosure, and the AI-assisted production process.

Sourcing standards

Every factual or statistical claim on this site is checked against a named, dated source before publication. We prioritize:

1. Government and regulatory sources (CDC, NIH, FDA, and equivalent). 2. Peer-reviewed journals and systematic reviews, preferring recent (2024-2026) publications where the evidence has moved. 3. Established medical and academic institutions.

We do not cite anonymous blogs, unverified forum claims, or marketing pages as evidence for a factual claim — those may appear only as context (e.g. "a manufacturer's stated price"), clearly labeled as such.

First-person experiment disclosure

Where an article includes the author's own results, it states the sample size (n=1), duration, measurement method or device, and what was not controlled for. If real data doesn't exist yet, the section says so plainly — marked "Personal data — pending measurement" — rather than fabricating a plausible-sounding number.

AI-assisted production

Research, drafting, and technical production on this site are AI-assisted. Every draft is built from the sourcing standards above, and every cited claim is checked against its source before publication. This doesn't change the disclosure rule above: first-person results are never invented to fill a gap, regardless of how the draft was produced.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it and log it. See the corrections page for the running record. To flag an error, use contact.

Affiliate and sponsored content

Product recommendations reflect the cited evidence and, where stated, the author's own use — never a payout. Affiliate relationships are disclosed above the fold on any page containing affiliate links, before the first link, per our affiliate disclosure. Sponsored content, if it ever exists, would be labeled as such at the top of the piece — none exists at this time.

What we don't do

We don't publish absolute health claims ("cures," "guarantees"), don't present a single data point as a trend, and don't dismiss conventional medical or licensed advice — this site complements it, never replaces it.
