Evidence and interpretation
KneeLife prioritizes major guidelines, systematic reviews, randomized trials, regulatory materials, and primary sources. We distinguish evidence quality from availability, popularity, cost, and marketing. Where guidelines disagree, the disagreement is stated rather than averaged away.
Physician review
Material clinical judgments—candidate framing, contraindications, comparative conclusions, and treatment-pathway recommendations—require named physician review. Formatting, metadata, internal links, and low-risk copyediting may be handled editorially.
Use of AI
AI may assist with research preparation, drafting, formatting, internal linking, and quality checks. AI does not independently approve clinical conclusions, invent sources, or create a false review date. Substantive updates are recorded when evidence or clinical interpretation changes.
Commercial separation
Payment cannot alter an evidence grade, candidacy criteria, organic clinical recommendation, or organic provider order. Sponsored placements, if introduced, will be labeled and separated from editorial content.
