Read an audit end to end
Follow a claim from the sentence a seller wrote to the study it rests on.
An audit is not a review of a compound. It takes the sentences the market is circulating, finds the study each one leans on, and reports what that study can carry. Read one with these four questions in hand.
- 1What is the claim, exactly?
Not the topic — the sentence. Audits quote the claim as it is sold, because a vague paraphrase can be defended and a quote cannot.
- 2What design is behind it?
Find the grade chip. Then ask whether the design matches the strength of the language: 'shown to' over an animal study is the mismatch these pieces exist to name.
- 3What is the denominator?
How many subjects, over how long, and compared against what. A result with no control arm is not a result about the compound.
- 4What would change the verdict?
Every audit says what evidence would move it. A piece that cannot be moved by any finding is an opinion wearing a lab coat.
They share a shelf heading, not a mechanism. Here is the four-point test I run before I let the word "versus" into a sentence about two compounds.
The claim rail beside the piece lists every claim it rests on, graded. When you get to the end, the discussion under it is where to say what the audit missed.
