The rules a page has to clear before it ships
Direct answer
Thirteen gates stand between a draft and a published page. A draft that fails any one of them does not publish late, it does not publish partially — it does not publish.

Show this figure as a table
| Step | Stage | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Search intent match | Does the page answer the question actually being asked? |
| 2 | Original value test | What exists here that is not already on ten other sites? |
| 3 | Source and evidence review | Every claim resolves to a ledger entry with a capture date. |
| 4 | Medical review | A named clinician checks claims against their primary sources. |
| 5 | Pricing verification | Figures re-captured from the provider's own page, dated. |
| 6 | Conflict-of-interest review | Any relationship that could bias the page, declared. |
| 7 | Legal and regulatory language | No implied approval, no generic claim, no individual advice. |
| 8 | Accessibility review | WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard, contrast, chart data tables. |
| 9 | Mobile QA | 390px viewport hides no fee, qualifier, status or date. |
| 10 | Structured-data validation | JSON-LD matches what a reader can see. |
| 11 | Internal-link validation | Parent hub, methodology, siblings, tool or dataset. |
| 12 | Duplication and cannibalisation check | No two pages chasing the same intent. |
| 13 | Date and cadence assignment | Review dates set from real work, not from the calendar. |
A draft that fails one gate does not publish partially. It waits.
| Area | Commitment | How you can check it |
|---|---|---|
| Every figure | Carries a source and a capture date | Open the provenance stamp beside it |
| Every clinical claim | Traced to a primary source | Follow the citation, not our summary |
| Every score | Computed from published inputs | Read the raw inputs on the provider page |
| Every correction | Dated and permanent | Read the corrections log |
| Every reviewer credential | — | Verification in progress |
A dash means no figure held. How we grade evidence.
