Science & Sources
Every grade, lesson, and piece of coaching in MyProtocol traces back to a curated research library. The apps cite it inline; this page is the same library, published in the open. No "studies show" without the study.
22
peer-reviewed studies, meta-analyses & reviews
7
clinical guidelines & society statements
27
expert resources & commentary
How it shows up in the product: Mastery Path lessons cite their sources under each lesson, the morning briefing links the science behind its insights, and scoring rules that are design choices rather than evidence (like our no-guilt grading philosophy) are labeled as exactly that. Primary literature is listed first within each topic.
