How we build match scores
Our methodology for ranking peptides against an outcome — and why we publish the rationale, not just the number.
Inputs
Each peptide has one or more outcome links, each with a strength (0–100) and a one-line rationale. Strengths reflect the combined weight of published human data, animal data, mechanism plausibility, and consistent anecdotal reporting. We deliberately leave room to be wrong — the score is a guide, not a verdict.
When you run the finder
We rank peptides by the sum of their strengths against your selected outcomes, then apply your constraints (administration tolerance, evidence preference). The output is a shortlist with the rationale visible per peptide — you can always disagree with our weighting and use the underlying data yourself.
What we won't do
We don't recommend doses. We don't recommend sources. We don't pretend this is medical advice. The match score helps you build a candidate list; the rest is your homework with a clinician.
Can I see the underlying data for a score?+
Yes — every peptide page lists its outcome links with strength values and a one-line rationale. The methodology is the rationale, not a black-box number.
