These rules help members and institutions describe services responsibly. Automated flags support—but never replace—human review in context.
How to use this policy
Allowed examples are responsible framing, not pre-approval of a complete advertisement. Restricted wording requires current, specific evidence and human review. Prohibited wording must not be published. The rules apply to member, institution, service, case and editorial public content.
Restricted — evidence and review required
External recognition requires verification
Government, international or authoritative-recognition claims must identify the granting body, scope, date and verifiable evidence.
Safer replacement: Name the granting body and evidence link, or remove the recognition claim.
Restricted — evidence and review required
Scientific-proof wording requires strict evidence
Before using scientifically proven, science-backed or empirical wording, verify study design, source, scope and limitations.
Safer replacement: Cite the source and evidence type accurately; otherwise describe the traditional or cultural context.
Restricted — evidence and review required
Comparative superlatives
Number one, most authoritative or highest-standard claims require a clear, current and reproducible comparison basis.
Safer replacement: Use specific, verifiable qualifications, service scope or dated facts.
Restricted — evidence and review required
Credentials and titles require verification
Expert, master, registered, licensed or certified titles require a verifiable issuer, scope, jurisdiction and current status.
Safer replacement: State the exact title, issuer and valid scope without implying a statutory credential.
