Marketplace methodology
Status, scope, sources, and money must stay visible
PeakedLabs can only become valuable if a reader can tell what is public fact, what has been claimed, what has been independently checked, and what is paid inventory.
Editorial profile
Created from public official sources. No affiliation, endorsement, availability, credential verification, or commercial relationship is implied. The profile links to a correction and claim path.
Claimed profile
PeakedLabs has verified that an applicant controls or is authorized to manage the profile. Claiming does not automatically verify professional credentials, licenses, outcomes, or every factual statement.
Identity or credential verified
The badge states exactly what was checked. Identity verification is not credential verification. Credential review uses the relevant official licensing or certification source, records a date, and must be renewed.
Partner
A member pays for profile management, client-toolkit features, approved inquiry routing, source maintenance, and reporting. Payment does not buy an editorial score, factual claim, review, testimonial, or organic order.
Sponsored
Sponsored placement is visibly labeled and time-bounded. It may buy placement in designated sponsor inventory, but it cannot masquerade as an independent ranking or alter the underlying editorial profile.
Scope taxonomy
| Label | What it means here | What it does not mean |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical care | Publicly described licensed evaluation or treatment. | That every team member is licensed in your state or appropriate for you. |
| Coaching | Behavior, training, nutrition, accountability, or implementation support. | Diagnosis, prescribing, or medical treatment. |
| Education | Public information, media, courses, or research translation. | Personal availability, medical advice, or endorsement by PeakedLabs. |
| Lab platform | Ordering, testing, organization, visualization, or guidance services. | Universal availability, insurance coverage, or a complete clinical relationship. |
Ordering and ranking
The launch directory favors relevance, data completeness, freshness, and editorial usefulness. Featured editorial profiles help introduce a category but are not represented as a scientific ranking. Paid inventory is labeled and excluded from organic scoring.
Reviews and outcomes
PeakedLabs does not publish fabricated reviews, aggregate ratings, success rates, or testimonials. A future review system requires authenticated transactions, moderation, conflicts disclosure, and an appeals process before Review schema is used.
Lead privacy
Marketplace forms collect service-fit information only. Do not send diagnoses, symptoms, medications, laboratory values, medical records, or urgent concerns. Clinical information belongs in the selected professional's compliant intake system.
Corrections and freshness
Every profile includes official sources and verification dates. Public pricing and availability are reviewed on a schedule and when corrections arrive. Material inaccuracies should be submitted through the claim/correction form.
