Our Editorial Promise

Before a single word reaches you, every article moves through four stages. It's a bit slower than just rewriting a press release — and that's the point.

1. We start at the source. We read the FDA, PubMed, and the actual clinical-trial data rather than secondhand summaries.
2. We investigate the program. We verify licensing, check credentials, and where we can, we go through the intake flow ourselves as a customer would.
3. We cross-check the facts. Any factual claim needs at least two independent sources, and we confirm pricing against the program's live site.
4. A second editor looks it over. Another set of eyes reviews the draft before it ever goes to medical review.

Not every claim deserves the same scrutiny, so we hold them to different standards. Clinical claims have to trace back to peer-reviewed studies or FDA data. Regulatory claims come from FDA.gov. Pricing is re-checked on the program's own site within the last 30 days, and we confirm prescriber credentials against the NPPES NPI Registry.

And when we simply can't confirm a figure on our own? We either label it clearly as an estimate or we leave it out. We'd rather tell you a little less than tell you something we're not sure about.

Anything clinical or health-related is reviewed by board-certified physicians and pharmacists before it goes live. They check it for accuracy, flag anything that could mislead, and confirm the drug-interaction and dosing guidance is sound. One important note, though: medical review confirms that our content is evidence-based — it is not personalized medical advice for you as an individual. For that, you'll always want your own provider.

We will get things wrong sometimes — everyone does — and when we do, we fix them quickly and out in the open. Small errors are corrected inline and the page's updated date changes. Bigger ones get a clear correction notice that explains exactly what changed. And whenever a program's rating moves, we record it in a changelog on that review page so nothing happens quietly.

Spotted something that looks off? Please tell us — email corrections@glp1compass.com and we'll look into it.

Our editorial content is never shaped by advertising relationships, affiliate partnerships, or sponsorships. No program can pay for a ranking, a higher score, or kinder coverage — full stop. Exactly how we keep the lights on, and why it doesn't touch our ratings, is laid out in plain language in our affiliate disclosure.

Everyone who writes for us follows the same seven rules:

1. Back up every claim with a real source.
2. Write for people, not clinicians — plain and warm.
3. Show both sides; never quietly hide a downside.
4. Date the data so you know how fresh it is.
5. Disclose any conflict of interest, no matter how small.
6. Never give individualized medical advice.
7. When in doubt, choose what keeps you safe.
