Transparency is part of the method
We display no generic badges. Every credential is published only when the certificate, issuing authority, certificate number, scope and expiry date can be verified and linked.
Quality & regulatory
Make it transparent
Use a dedicated page for every actual credential. Each badge should open the certificate or official verification page.

What this does not mean
Important rule: Harvard, Yale, FDA, CE-IVD, CLIA, CAP, ISO, Ministry of Health or other affiliation / regulatory claims are not published until the exact relationship, authorization or certificate is verified. We use “scientific foundation” or “research landscape” language when referring to published academic work that is not a formal collaboration.
Laboratory standards
How quality is controlled
Sample handling standards
Documented collection, stability, transport and rejection criteria for each validated specimen type.
Quality control
Predefined acceptance criteria at each analytical stage; failing samples are not reported.
Analytical validation
Accuracy, precision, reproducibility and limits characterised for the final assay.
Clinical validation
Performance in relevant clinical populations for a defined intended use.
Reference population
Documented characteristics of the reference data used by reported models.
Change control
Versioned methods and models, with the version recorded on every report.
Privacy, data & ethics
Epigenomic information requires a higher standard
Data practices are governed by the approved policies applicable to your jurisdiction and are published in full once finalised.
Consent
Informed consent describing what is measured, stored and for how long.
Data handling
Defined processing, access control and internal responsibility.
Storage & retention
Documented storage locations, encryption and retention schedule.
Confidentiality
Results are medical information and are treated as such.
Secondary use
No research use of identifiable data without explicit, separate consent.
Withdrawal
A defined process for withdrawing consent and requesting deletion.
Responsible interpretation
Communication designed to avoid over-interpretation or alarm.
Ethics oversight
Independent review of claims, content and communication.
Governance FAQ
Common questions
Generic badges communicate nothing verifiable. When a credential exists, it will be published with its certificate, issuing authority, number, scope and expiry date.
No authorisation is claimed. Regulatory documentation to be provided; the platform states status explicitly rather than implying approval.
Access is limited to the personnel required to deliver and interpret the result, under the approved data-protection framework.
Not without explicit, separate and revocable consent.
