Transparency matters. Internal evidence review is not the same as external clinical approval, and we do not describe it as such.

Evidence status

What is available in Phase 1, what has been checked internally, and what we are deliberately holding for additional review.

i

Internal evidence review completed across WC-01 to WC-08. This means key factual claims were checked against the sources recorded by Eights & Arrows. It does not mean every page has been clinically, legally or professionally approved by an external reviewer.

AVAILABLE — WC-01

Periods & Sport. Internal evidence review complete; conservative scope and healthcare signposting retained.

ADDITIONAL REVIEW — WC-02

REDs. Detailed resources held because of the clinical diagnostic boundary.

AVAILABLE — WC-03

Menopause & Perimenopause. Internal evidence review complete; individual treatment decisions remain with healthcare professionals.

ADDITIONAL REVIEW — WC-04

Pregnancy, postnatal return and pregnancy/baby loss. Detailed resources held for added specialist scrutiny.

AVAILABLE — WC-05

Disability & Access. Evidence, access and equality framework available; legal information is jurisdiction-aware.

AVAILABLE — WC-06

Neurodiversity & Sensory Inclusion. Practical inclusion guidance without diagnosis or screening.

AVAILABLE — WC-07

Inequality, Barriers & Staying. Programme evidence is clearly distinguished from wider population evidence.

PARTIAL PHASE 1 — WC-08

Evidence literacy, social-media red flags and our evidence methodology are available. Cycle-syncing and supplement/hormone-product pages are held for added review.

What readers can expect

  • Important health claims have traceable sources.
  • Lived experience is not presented as clinical proof.
  • We do not use public diagnostic quizzes or offer individual test interpretation.
  • Where evidence is mixed or uncertain, the wording should remain uncertain.
  • Material can be corrected, updated or withdrawn if guidance changes.
  • Commercial relationships do not change our evidence standard.
