How we vet our experts

Nobody gets a byline here by asking for one

The same checks apply to everyone whose name appears on this site, whether they wrote the piece or signed off on it.

  1. Credentials verified at source

    We check every licence number against the issuing state board before a profile goes live, and we recheck it once a year.

  2. Scope agreed in writing

    Reviewers only sign off on subjects they actually practise in.

  3. Every review is logged

    The reviewer, the date, and the version are recorded on the article itself, so you can see exactly when it was last checked and by whom.
