A record sheet, published in public

01

What this publication does

We read provider pricing pages, plan pages, fee pages and state lists, and we record what they say in a fixed set of fields. One record per provider per product. Every field carries the page it came from and the date it was read.

From those records we derive a monthly equivalent for each offer and publish the sourced cost tables. The ranked page is separate from these figures, and its method is set out below.

A price is always read from the provider’s own page. A non-price fact that only a third party publishes is recorded from that page and labelled a third-party report; it is never presented as the provider’s own statement, and it never sets a price.

02

What it does not do

• It does not provide treatment, diagnose anything, or imply that a reader has low testosterone.
• It does not quote a personalized price. Published prices are not quotes, and a program may charge differently after an intake.
• It does not recommend a program for any individual. Whether a treatment is appropriate is a decision for a licensed clinician.
• It does not estimate or fill a gap. A field we could not source is published as not established. Where a provider publishes only an average, the average is quoted and labeled as one.

03

The editorial contract

Eleven rules govern every record, and a breach of any of them is treated as a bug even when the page looks correct:

• Blank is not zero. A null field is unknown; a zero is a published figure.
• A charge carries its own cadence, never a supply period.
• Charges are stored as billed; the monthly figure is derived and labeled.
• Every figure carries a source URL and a check date. No source, no verified figure.
• No invented prose. Records restate what the provider publishes.
• The arithmetic is published, including the fixtures that must match before a build ships.
• One ranked list only. Everything else is alphabetical and says so.
• No stars, no invented reviews and no rating markup for the publisher score. The score is a stated commercial judgement, and it is never presented as a computed measure of value.
• Ownership is disclosed where a comparison is first met.
• Corrections are recorded, not overwritten.
• No clinical claim, and never an implication about the reader.

How the ranking is set

Every score (0–100) and every position on the ranked page is a value the publisher sets by hand in a single configuration file. No code calculates a score from price, fees, billing clarity, commitment length or completeness, and no price change reorders the list.

The publisher may take compensation, advertising relationships and its own commercial interests into account. A provider holding a contracted paid placement is labelled “Sponsored” beside its score and position, and its outbound links carry rel="sponsored nofollow noopener". Active paid entries are identified where they appear.

The publisher score is a promotional judgement. It is not a clinical rating, not a measure of value, and not a recommendation. Prices, fees and billing terms are sourced and dated separately, and they keep their own arithmetic in the cost tables and the cost study.

How to read a blank

A blank membership fee is not a free membership. A blank billing cadence is not a 28-day cycle. A blank state list is not nationwide availability. The blank is a statement about our research, and it is published as a blank rather than being smoothed over.
