Score breakdown · Provider-Selection Integrity rubric

Criterion Awarded Max Rationale
Payment & affiliate disclosure 21 25 Disclosure inline. Entity-level partners identified. -4 for the state-page disclosure not being as granular as the homepage.
Provider-selection methodology 18 20 Six-Pillar framework applied with a state-coverage variant. -2 for the state-coverage criterion being applied editorially but not formally weighted in the published rubric.
Author E-E-A-T 17 20 Named MD reviewer. -3 for editor not consistently distinct from reviewer across all state-specific provider pages.
Provider verification rigor 13 15 State medical-board licensure verification is the audit's strongest single performance on Criterion 4-b: each recommended provider's prescribing physicians are checked against each claimed state's medical board. -2 for clinical-staff verification depth varying by state page.
Pricing transparency 10 10 Pricing verified per state. Dose-structure distinguished. Where pricing varies by state, the variance is documented.
Update cadence & corrections 12 10 Per-page state-page review dates. Corrections log linked. Capped at 10.
