Expert Review Form and Attestation
Version 1.0 · Effective November 10, 2026
How this form works
-
You review only the claims that Legal has already cleared for this product (Claim Pre-check). Each claim is shown with its evidence pack.
-
For each claim you choose one verdict: APPROVE, APPROVE WITH EDITS, REJECT, or OUTSIDE MY EXPERTISE.
-
Your review fee is set by the rate card and is paid once the form is complete, whatever your verdicts. Rejecting claims never reduces your fee.
-
Your approval covers only the exact final wording you enter. The brand may not change approved wording, or use it in a different context, without a new sign-off from you.
-
From time to time the evidence pack may include a test claim with deliberately weak support, to check review quality. Treat every claim on its merits.

Part F. Attestation (each box must be ticked to submit)
☐ I personally read the evidence relied on for each claim and reached my own conclusion, applying the standard a qualified expert in my field would apply.
☐ I approved only claims within my field of expertise and marked any other claim “Outside my expertise”.
☐ This review is my own original work. No other person reviewed, drafted or approved any claim on my behalf.
☐ Any software or AI tool was used only as an aid. I checked every reference and every conclusion myself and did not enter confidential material into any tool that was not approved.
☐ The final wording I entered for each approved claim is exactly what I approve. I understand that any change to it, or its use in a different context, requires my new written sign-off.
☐ My conflicts declaration is accurate as of today.
☐ I have reported every safety concern or adverse event I became aware of during this review.
☐ I understand that my fee does not depend on my verdicts, and that this review does not by itself grant any right to use my name, image or likeness.
