What this site is, who we are, and what we do and do not do.

## What this site is

Oath Research Ratings is an independent editorial review of Oath Research, scored across four weighted categories — Testing Rigor (35% weight), Transparency (25%), Product Range (20%), and Value (20%) — using publicly verifiable evidence. We are not affiliated with the company we review. We do not sell research peptides, accept advertising from peptide vendors, or receive commission on purchases. We have no financial relationship with Oath Research, Freedom Diagnostics, or any vendor or laboratory mentioned in our analysis. Our methodology relies on publicly available documentary evidence — lab reports listed in public COA archives, CLIA registrations verifiable in the federal CMS database, independent third-party vendor-scoring listings, customer reviews on platforms with verification mechanisms, and editorial judgment grounded in disclosed criteria.

## What this site is not

This site is not a vendor. It does not sell research peptides or any other product. It is not a medical service; it does not provide dosage recommendations or clinical guidance. It is not a regulatory authority; it does not certify products or grant approvals. It is not affiliated with Oath Research in any capacity, and it does not receive customer service inquiries on the company's behalf.

This site is also not a pay-to-rate vendor-scoring program. We do not charge the company under review for a Premium tier or a favorable-treatment subscription. The categorical exclusion of pay-to-rate vendor-scoring sites with structural conflicts of interest, which appears on the methodology page, applies to us as well: a rating system worth reading is a rating system that holds itself to the criterion it holds others to.

## Editorial standard

The voice across the site is consumer-reports analyst — calm, methodical, evidence-led, numeric. Where the public record supports a strong reading, we score it strong. Where the public record does not support a reading, we say so and withhold the points.

We do not invent reviewers, staff, or named analysts. The editorial "we" is the publication's voice, not a person. We do not invent customer testimonials. Where customer reviews are quoted, they are attributed to the platform they appeared on (amino.reviews, Trustpilot) and the dates they were posted. Where statistics appear, they are sourced from the public-record fact pack and named at the point of use.

We will publish a correction when a documented factual error in our rating is brought to our attention. Documentation means a public source we can re-verify. We will not adjust scores in response to opinion, marketing requests, or pressure from the company under review or its competitors.
