Evidence first. Uncertainty intact.
These are the reporting commitments MoreYears.news is establishing before regular coverage begins. They describe how sources, claims, confidence, conflicts, and AI assistance should be handled.
Two different judgments
Evidence maturity is not reporting confidence.
One describes what kind of evidence exists. The other describes confidence that an article accurately represents the available sources. Neither substitutes for the other.
How close is the evidence to the outcome?
Cell, animal, mechanistic, observational, randomized human, systematic-review, regulator, company-claim, and unknown states answer different questions.
How well does the article represent its sources?
Confidence depends on source access, consistency, provenance, unresolved conflicts, and whether key facts can be verified.
Source roles
Use the strongest source available for the claim.
Sources can support, contextualize, contradict, disclose, or merely lead to a story. Their role should be visible.
Papers, systematic reviews, registries, and regulators.
Prefer traceable primary records and persistent identifiers for substantive scientific or medical coverage.
Conference abstracts and preprints need clear labels.
Readers should be told when a result is preliminary or has not completed peer review.
Company and institutional releases show what an organization says.
They should be attributed and should not silently stand in for independent evidence.
Secondary reporting and social posts can point toward sources.
Social discussion is not sole support for a medical claim. Discovery and verification are separate jobs.
Language and disclosure
Name the distance between a result and human benefit.
Do not turn association into causation.
Cell and animal findings must not be translated into human benefit. Safety, biomarker movement, function, healthspan, and lifespan remain distinct outcomes.
Make relevant relationships visible.
Funding, company involvement, author affiliations, and commercial interests should be captured when they affect how readers interpret a claim.
Precision outranks excitement.
Words such as “breakthrough,” “reversal,” and “cure” require evidence and context that genuinely justify them.
Education is not personal medical advice.
Reporting may explain evidence and uncertainty; it does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace a reader’s clinical context.
Automation may help discover and organize—not approve publication.
AI may discover sources, structure notes, compare claims, and draft clearly identified material. Deterministic checks must verify cited identifiers and links, while a separate evidence review must confirm that sources support the text before human publishing approval.
