RESEARCH & REFERENCES

329 SOURCES.
25 DISCIPLINES.
ONE STANDARD.

Every substantive claim in The Muscle School is grounded in primary or review literature, with uncertainty named rather than concealed.

602 REVIEWED CLAIMS · 0 UNVERIFIED · 0 RETRACTED SOURCES

OUR EVIDENCE STANDARD

Every claim has a lineage. Every limit is named.

01

Primary and review literature only.

Every substantive claim in the curriculum traces to a primary study or peer-reviewed review. Popular science, editorials, and secondary summaries are not cited as authoritative sources.

02

Evidence classified by strength.

Claims are classified across six evidence tiers — from well-established to limited evidence — and marked accordingly. Learners see the classification directly on the claim.

03

Uncertainty named, not concealed.

Where science is contested, preliminary, or methodologically constrained, that limitation is stated explicitly. The institution does not resolve contested findings with editorial confidence.

04

Retraction monitoring.

The source registry is monitored for retractions. No retracted source remains in the curriculum. 0 retracted sources at time of publication.
