Scoring Methodology
How we score providers, what "verified" means, and our independence statement.
The 100-Point Score
Every provider receives a PepEvolution score (0–100) based on four objective signals. No editorial override. No paid boosts.
Verification Status
35%Whether the listing has been manually reviewed and confirmed accurate. Confirms: real operating business, listed peptides match public information, listing is accurate at review time.
Rating & Review Data
25%Third-party rating (e.g. Google Places, Trustpilot) passed through unchanged. We do not editorialize. Review count informs confidence.
Telehealth Coverage
20%Whether the provider offers remote/telehealth services. Increases accessibility for patients.
Peptide Breadth
20%Number and range of treatment categories the provider covers. Broader coverage = higher score component.
What "Verified" Means
A "Verified" badge confirms:
- ✓ Real operating business (verifiable address, website, contact)
- ✓ Listed treatment categories match publicly available information
- ✓ Listing data was accurate at the time of manual review
A "Verified" badge does NOT mean:
- ✗ Clinical practices or treatment quality were evaluated
- ✗ Product quality or purity was assessed
- ✗ Regulatory compliance was confirmed
- ✗ Safety record was reviewed
- ✗ The provider is endorsed or recommended
Independence Statement
PepEvolution is an independent directory. No provider pays to be listed. No provider pays for a higher score. Rankings are computed from objective signals only.
We earn commissions from some outbound links (affiliate links). These are clearly labeled wherever they appear. Affiliate relationships do not affect a provider's score, verified status, or ranking. A provider without an affiliate program can score higher than one with one.
We may add, update, or remove listings based on data quality, regulatory events (e.g., enforcement actions, shutdowns), or inaccurate information. Providers with confirmed enforcement actions or closures are flagged in listing notices.
