Commercial independence

Commerce policy

Metatron Health can earn revenue without selling editorial authority.

Canonical disclosure

Clear before the click

Metatron Health may earn a commission from links on a page. This never affects evidence labels, rankings or safety information. Every active commercial link is marked at the point of action; a generic footer notice is not sufficient.

Structural firewall

Research, editorial and safety own claims, evidence strength and warnings. Commercial Data may record suppliers, agreements, prices, stock, commission and fulfilment, but cannot write editorial fields. Publication and Witness independently verify both content and disclosure.

Activation evidence

An affiliate or practitioner-referral route stays inactive until the current agreement, authorized tracking or registration identifier, legal operator, qualified-practitioner evidence where required, territory, commission terms, claim restrictions, privacy terms and termination path are recorded and reviewed.

Practitioner authority

A qualification, professional membership and legal scope are different facts. They are checked against current primary registers or institution evidence. A commercial supplier account does not itself prove a practitioner title, regulated status or authorization to make clinical claims.

Link and ranking rules

Affiliate links use a clear commission disclosure and rel="sponsored noopener". Commission, margin, supplier preference or stock cannot affect evidence class, strength, safety language or default ranking. Sponsored placement, if ever introduced, must be visibly separated from editorial results.

Shop and dropship boundary

A future Shopify or dropship surface requires a named merchant of record, tax and consumer-rights treatment, product liability, fulfilment and returns ownership, recall handling, adverse-event routing, product traceability, privacy impact assessment and jurisdiction-specific claims review before checkout is enabled.

Current state

No commission-generating public link, Metatron checkout, customer account, individualized recommendation or commercial ranking is active in release 2026.07.18.3. Candidate relationships are not presented as agreements until their evidence gate passes.
