Corrections Policy

We will get things wrong. When we do, the honest response is to fix it quickly and visibly — not to quietly edit the page and pretend it always read that way. A platform that asks readers to trust its evidence has to hold itself to the same standard it applies to the research.

How to report an error

How we handle it

1. Triage. We assess whether the issue is a factual error, an out-of-date figure, an unclear passage, or a difference of interpretation.
2. Verify. We re-check the claim against primary sources.
3. Fix. Factual errors are corrected promptly. Safety-relevant errors are prioritized above everything else.
4. Log. Significant corrections — anything that changes a fact, a grade, or a safety statement — are recorded in the public evidence-change log, with what changed and why.

Typo vs. correction

Minor fixes — spelling, formatting, a broken link — are made silently. Acorrection is reserved for changes to substance: a wrong number, a mis-stated regulatory status, an outdated trial result, or a shift in an evidence grade. Those are the ones we log.

Grade changes

When new evidence moves a Synptide grade up or down, that is not a correction of a past mistake — it's the system working. We still record it publicly, so the history of a compound's evidence is visible over time rather than overwritten.
