How we review

Curate first. Review deeper as the project grows.

MatchMedi does not employ paid medical reviewers at MVP. That changes what the site is allowed to publish.

Clinical pages

Clinical pages must be curated from authoritative sources with visible attribution. MatchMedi can organize, explain what the source says, and add questions to ask, but it should not invent clinical recommendations.

Original pages

Original pages can cover questions to ask, second opinions, community rules, privacy, funding, and mission. They cannot contain unsourced treatment claims.

Last checked

Last checked means the source link and the page's source label were reviewed on that date. It does not mean an oncologist approved a new recommendation.

Lived experience only

Cohort stories can help families ask better questions. They are not clinical evidence and do not tell another person what to do.

Pre-launch review flow

  1. Check what the source directly says.
  2. Check whether the source can be embedded, summarized, or link-only.
  3. Remove strong patient-facing claims that are not source-backed.
  4. Mark unclear material as unresolved or lived-experience only.
  5. Pass verification scripts and production build before launch review.

Clinical claims

Need sources

Drug, approval, mutation, trial, and prognosis statements need citations.

Stories

Not evidence

Cohort stories need verification, but they do not prove treatment effect.

Korean

Review-gated

Korean clinical treatment pages do not launch from machine translation.
