Public methodology · version 1.1

Perspectives remain separate.

Core rule: Alternative medical traditions, practitioners, professional bodies, researchers and proponents are presented first in their own attributed terms. Government, pharmaceutical and regulatory positions are separate external assessments or safety footnotes. Neither is silently rewritten as the other, and neither automatically becomes Metatron’s conclusion.

Source-role contract

1. Original tradition or knowledge holderTexts, institutions, communities and lineage sources describing the system in its own concepts.

2. Practitioner or professional bodyAttributed accounts of practice, education, scope, protocols and professional standards.

3. Proponent, manufacturer or companyClaims, formulations, cited research and commercial rationale, always carrying their interest and source role.

4. Independent researchStudies and syntheses assessed for design, population, intervention identity, comparator, outcomes and risk of bias.

5. External safety and regulatory contextFDA, EMA, NCCIH, WHO and national authorities appear here with jurisdiction and date—not as the voice of the tradition.

6. Metatron synthesisA traceable comparison of the preceding layers. Disagreement and uncertainty remain visible.

Geography is part of the claim

A practice, product, professional title or claim can have different legal and cultural status by country. Metatron records jurisdiction, language, knowledge tradition, observed date and applicable authority rather than projecting US or EU rules onto a global system.

Publication chain

Attributed source → immutable evidence record → source-role classification → entity normalization → perspective-specific extraction → evidence review → safety review → claims and jurisdiction review → Metatron synthesis → release manifest → public verification → receipt.

Non-negotiable controls

No model, company, practitioner or regulator publishes directly as Metatron’s verdict.
Manufacturer and practitioner claims are preserved as attributed intelligence and never silently converted into clinical evidence.
Regulatory statements identify the jurisdiction and do not define a tradition globally.
Commercial relationships cannot change an evidence or safety assessment.
Unknown, disagreement, dissent, provenance and review dates remain visible.
Consequential assessments require review independent from their executor.

Corrections and withdrawal

Material errors, retractions, source changes, safety alerts and regulatory changes trigger reassessment. Content may be marked under review, corrected, quarantined or withdrawn while its audit history remains preserved.
