Four review questions

Is the claim specific?

Broad statements receive narrower language. We ask which population, duration, intensity, and outcome are actually being discussed.

Is the context visible?

Heat, medications, injury history, sleep, and workload can change interpretation. We name material context where it affects the reader.

Is the uncertainty fair?

Readers deserve to know when evidence is preliminary, mixed, indirect, or based on a small group.

Is the next step safe?

Practical suggestions remain conservative and point toward qualified assessment when risk or symptoms are involved.
