Editorial Standards

Independence

Preventio Hub is not affiliated with, owned by, or sponsored by any manufacturer, distributor, professional association, or industry organization. No commercial relationship exists between the publication and any company whose products it covers. Editorial decisions — what to publish, when, and how — are made independently of any external party.

No paid placement

No article, review, paragraph, sentence, or link on Preventio Hub is paid for. We do not accept sponsored content. We do not run native advertising disguised as editorial. We do not exchange coverage for product samples, free events, or industry access. If at any future point we introduce affiliate links or sponsored content, those placements will be visually distinct from editorial content and clearly labeled.

Critical coverage

Critical assessment of equipment, techniques, and clinical claims is a core editorial responsibility. Where a product has known limitations, those limitations are stated. Where a clinical protocol has contested evidence, the contestation is reported. Honest weaknesses are not airbrushed because of brand prestige, and honest strengths are not minimised because of brand novelty.

Verification before publication

Every claim of clinical fact must trace to a verifiable public source: PubMed-indexed peer-reviewed research, manufacturer technical documentation, regulatory filings, or distributor catalogues. The verification standard is documented in our methodology.

Brand neutrality

Brands appear alphabetically in every comparison and enumeration on the site. Neither editorial nor visual hierarchy is used to elevate one brand over another. Comparison criteria are chosen for clinical relevance, not for any brand's competitive advantage.

Anonymity

Articles on Preventio Hub are published under the collective byline "Preventio Hub" rather than under individual author names. This is intentional: it removes personal brand-building incentives that can quietly bias editorial judgment. The collective stands behind every article published.

Conflicts of interest

If at any point a member of the editorial collective has a material conflict of interest with the subject of an article — past employment, ongoing consulting, financial holdings — that contributor is recused from the relevant editorial process. We will publish a conflicts-of-interest policy in detail when our editorial scope expands beyond the current single-collective model.

Content categories and rigor levels

Different article types apply different levels of editorial rigor:

• Clinical evidence summaries require multiple verified peer-reviewed sources, with primary findings cross-checked against full-text papers where available.
• Equipment reviews require manufacturer documentation plus, where possible, distributor pricing and clinical user feedback to validate stated workflows.
• News and industry coverage require at least one verifiable primary source (manufacturer press release, regulatory filing, conference announcement) before publication.
• Reference content (glossary, hub pages) is reviewed against the article corpus quarterly to ensure terminology and links remain accurate.

Use of AI tools

AI tools are used at Preventio Hub for drafting assistance, research aggregation, and quality checks. AI-generated text is reviewed against primary sources before publication, and any unverifiable claim is removed or replaced. The "Never Invent" rule from our methodology applies to AI-drafted content with the same force as to human-drafted content.

Updates and revisions

Every article shows its publication date and "last updated" timestamp. Material revisions — those that change a clinical recommendation, a price range, or a factual claim — are noted in the article. Minor corrections (spelling, links) are made silently. The site does not retroactively rewrite history.
