Evidence system

Evidence Framework

The Evidence Framework explains how The Sciences classifies evidence strength, transparency, relevance, limitations and public claim language.

Evidence quality

Strength of support

Evidence may include peer-reviewed research, independent tests, systematic reviews, technical documentation, expert review and transparent operational data.

Relevance

Fit between evidence and claim

A strong study does not automatically support every marketing claim. The framework checks whether the evidence matches the product, population, setting and wording.

Limitations

Visible constraints

The Sciences encourages clear disclosure of limits, uncertainty, conflicts, methodology gaps and areas where evidence remains preliminary.

Proportionate wording

Public claims should not overstate causality, certainty, clinical effect, safety, generalizability or regulatory status.

Practical classification

Records may use internal evidence tiers to distinguish preliminary, supported, independently tested, externally validated and continuously monitored claims.
