11 · THE EVIDENCE

Every claim, graded.

The complete Realised knowledge base. Each entry shows its confidence tier, the reasoning behind it, the underlying sources, and (where relevant) what would change our mind.

Methodology
Foundational
Physiological axioms or replicated baseline-recovery protocols. Not in scientific dispute. Includes Tier 0 axioms and Tier 0.5 foundational synthesis.
Strong
Multiple independent replications, well-understood mechanism, meta-analytic support. Tier 1.
Moderate
Replicated but with caveats: smaller effects, partial mechanism, or evidence concentrated in specific populations. Tier 2.
Emerging
Early-stage support, single high-quality studies, or pre-replication signals with strong mechanism. Tier 3.
Experimental
Preliminary, contested, or theoretical. Included for transparency. Tier 4.

How tiers get assigned

Tier reflects how confident Realised is in a claim, not just the type of study behind it. A meta-analysis with conflicting findings can sit at Moderate. A small RCT with a clean mechanism and replicated direction can sit at Strong. Each entry shows its tier reasoning: what evidence moved it up, what caveats hold it back, and where industry or publication bias may distort the picture.

Many entries have mixed tiers across dimensions. Vitamin D might be Strong for the underlying physiology, Moderate for clinical depression effect, and Emerging for respiratory infection prevention. We surface that split rather than flatten it.

Genetic claims: same discipline

Your genome is too important for "emerging research" framed as established fact.

The same tier system applies to genetic recommendations. Tier 1 for a genetic claim requires genotype-stratified intervention RCTs, replicated. Mechanism plus a non-stratified trial = Tier 2 at best. Most consumer genetics products grade at Tier 3 or Tier 4 by our standard. Most don't grade at all.

Realised does not publish claims at Experimental tier as recommendations. They appear here for transparency: so you can see where our knowledge base ends, not where the platform suggests you should act.
