Evaluate Your Health Copy

An editorial screening framework for evidence-informed health communication
~5–7 minutes  ·  40 questions  ·  7 sections  ·  NIME™ Powered v2.0

Disclaimer: This tool is an editorial screening framework, not a clinical, legal, regulatory, or scientific certification. It does not independently verify sources or determine whether a medical claim is true. Always validate substantive health claims against appropriate authoritative evidence before publication.

This checklist helps you identify overclaims, sourcing gaps, and areas where language may overstate the evidence. It is designed for copywriters, content strategists, editors, and health-tech founders who want to ensure their communication is clear, credible, and evidence-aligned.

What the Integrity Checker Evaluates

Evidence & Sources Source quality, source-to-claim alignment, evidence currency, and evidence hierarchy.
Claim Discipline Absolute claims, certainty, generalization, statistics, and evidence-language alignment.
Causality & Scientific Reasoning Association vs. causation, mechanisms, preclinical evidence, observational research, and traditional use.
Clinical & Reader Safety Diagnostic interpretation, treatment interpretation, safety claims, contraindications, and professional boundaries.
Emotional Responsibility Fear-based persuasion, vulnerability, false reassurance, dignity, and inclusive language.
Copy Quality Audience clarity, jargon, specificity, voice, persuasion, and calls to action.

Before & After Examples

See how the Integrity Checker evaluates real copy:

🔴 High Risk — Before

"Our clinically proven herbal formula cures chronic fatigue in 7 days."

Problems: Absolute outcome · "Clinically proven" requires substantiation · Causality/efficacy overstatement · Fixed timeline · Potentially misleading health claim

🟢 Evidence-Responsible — After

"Our formula contains ingredients that have been studied for their potential role in supporting energy and fatigue-related outcomes."

Why it's better: Removes guaranteed outcome · Avoids unsupported timeline · Separates evidence from promise · Preserves a meaningful value proposition

How the Integrity Checker Works

The Integrity Checker is the first operational research demonstrator of the NHOS Intelligence Matrix Engine™ (NIME™). It follows a structured workflow:

  1. Review the copy — Evaluate the health communication against the 40-item instrument.
  2. Assess evidence and claims — Review sourcing, claim strength, causality, uncertainty, generalization, statistics, and safety.
  3. Receive an Evidence Integrity Score — The tool produces a normalized 0–100 score and classification.
  4. Review findings — Identify good practices, warnings, dangers, and recommended revisions.
  5. Revise before publication — Use the findings to improve evidence-language alignment and reader safety.

Powered by the NHOS Intelligence Matrix Engine™ (NIME™), which structures and organizes the assessment logic for evidence-language alignment.

What Does the Integrity Checker Evaluate?

The Integrity Checker assesses health communication across seven editorial dimensions:

📚 Evidence & Sources

Does the copy accurately reflect the quality, currency, and relevance of its sources?

⚖️ Claim Discipline

Does the language make stronger claims than the evidence supports?

🔬 Causality & Scientific Reasoning

Does the copy confuse association, mechanism, or preclinical evidence with demonstrated clinical outcomes?

🛡️ Clinical & Reader Safety

Could a reasonable reader interpret the content as diagnosis or individualized treatment advice?

❤️ Emotional Responsibility

Does the copy use fear, vulnerability, shame, or false reassurance to persuade?

✍️ Copy Quality

Is the communication understandable, specific, audience-appropriate, and useful?

✅ Final Editorial Review

Can substantive claims be traced back to evidence and defended to an informed healthcare professional?

Evidence Integrity Score — Classification Bands

The Evidence Integrity Score (EIS) is a normalized 0–100 value. The following classifications provide editorial guidance:

90–100
Excellent
75–89
Strong
50–74
Needs Review
25–49
High Risk
0–24
Critical

Important: The Evidence Integrity Score measures how well a communication's language aligns with its evidentiary basis. It does NOT measure clinical efficacy, safety, scientific truth, regulatory compliance, or legal permissibility.

Private by Design

Your copy stays on your device.

The Integrity Checker uses client-side processing and IndexedDB rather than transmitting assessment data to a cloud service. No account is required. No analytics are collected. You control your data.
