SOURCING STANDARD
No number ships at tier five. No number ships uncited.
This is the rule we work to, published unchanged. It is written for the person holding the card at 0300, not for a buyer. It is falsifiable: every clause below either happened for a given number or it did not, and the record says which.
Read station 05 before you decide what we are worth. It is the list of things this standard requires that we have not yet done.
Every claim carries exactly one tier, named in the record beside it. The tier is not a quality score — it decides what the claim is allowed to do on a printed face.
Manufacturer package insert, device instructions for use. The only acceptable tier for a concentration, a mg/mL, or a reference range.
The guideline that governs the practice, cited with its edition and its year, always. A guideline without an edition is not a citation.
Used to justify why a recommendation is framed the way it is, and to keep superseded dogma off the card. Not used to originate a number on its own.
Current edition, named with its year. Acceptable for structure, sequence and definitions.
Blogs, podcasts and practice compendia. Never the sole citation for a printed number. A number supported only by “everyone teaches it this way” is either killed or demoted to a note labelled practice, not guideline on the card face.
Where we looked and found nothing
No Minnesota air-medical programme publishes its clinical protocols publicly. Life Link III, Mayo One and North Memorial Air Care were each checked. Nothing was found, so nothing on any card is sourced from them, and we do not imply otherwise.
Cited to a named source at T1 to T4, with edition and year, and the citation was read rather than recalled.
No citation, or the only citation sits at T5. Unsourced does not print. It stays off the face until it has a source or it is dropped.
A source at a higher tier disagrees. The claim comes off the card and the disagreement is written down rather than resolved by preference.
There is no fourth state. “Looks right” is not a state, and neither is “that is how we were taught”.
Four rules sit underneath the three states:
- Never author or sign off a clinical number from recall. Memory is not a source. If it cannot be cited, it does not exist.
- Never self-grade. The reviewer sees the artwork and the specification and never the author’s reasoning, because a reviewer who watched the work being made inherits its blind spots.
- Unfinished content is marked DRAFT in the file itself, not just in a conversation.
- Two signatures close a card: the audit record and the rendered print proof. No automated step is permitted to declare a card final or print-ready.
An audit is written to a dated file naming the card, the date and one of three verdicts: SIGN-OFF, FINDINGS or BLOCKED.
Every content change bumps the revision letter. Every card face carries its SKU and its revision in the printed footer, so you can always tell which version you are holding — and so can we, when you email us about it.
A number is never quietly edited inside an existing revision. If a line changes, the letter moves, and the card in your pocket and the card on this site stop matching on purpose rather than by accident.
The revision shown on this site is the revision of the print file that produced the images on this site. There is no separate marketing render.
CC-WH-01 carries no drug, no dose, no ventilator setting, no lab value and no treatment step. There is no clinical recommendation printed on it.
Every entry is a phone number or a web address published by the organisation that answers it, read from that organisation’s own published line before printing. You can check the whole card by dialling it, and we would rather you did.
That is also the reason this card was first: it is the one subject where the sourcing question has a clean answer, and it let us prove the print pipeline against content that cannot hurt anyone if the pipeline is wrong.
This section is the point of the page. A standard nobody can fail is decoration.
- No card carries a clinician sign-off record. The count today is zero. No card currently carries a clinical claim that would require one. When one does, the sign-off will exist before the card ships and it will be named here.
- Nothing on this site has been checked by anyone outside the company. There is no external reviewer, no advisory board and no institution standing behind it.
- Our terms, our returns policy and our medical disclaimer have not been read by an attorney.
- We have sold nothing. There are no customers, so there are no reviews, and we are not going to invent any.
- Claustrum LLC was formed on 2026-07-21. Read this site with that date in mind.
- The store is paused and checkout is closed. Nothing on this site can currently take your money.
When one of these changes, this list changes, and the date at the top of the page moves with it.
- No accounts, no login, no wishlist, no newsletter and no email capture anywhere on this site.
- No analytics, no advertising pixel, no tag manager, no embedded video, no web font from anyone else’s server. Every script, style, font and image is served from this domain.
- No tracking cookie. This site sets no cookie at all. A cart, once you build one, is kept in your own browser’s local storage and is sent nowhere until you deliberately check out.
- When checkout opens, payment is handled by Stripe on Stripe’s own pages. Card numbers never touch this site.
Do not take our word for any of that. Open the network panel and the response headers and look. The content security policy is the enforceable version of this paragraph. The rest is in the privacy policy.
