Trust
Trust is tiered.
Every record in DrugIQ carries a tier — A1, A2, or A3 — that tells you exactly how it was verified and against what. The tier travels with the record across every API call, every export, every cited reference. It is the floor your team should set for the decisions a record will inform.
The three tiers
A1
Expert verified
Three or more authoritative sources agree, and a domain expert has reviewed the record. The floor for institutional citations, regulatory submissions, and clinical decision support.
A2
AI reviewed, cross-source matched
Two or more authoritative sources agree on the record's facts. AI-reviewed for internal consistency. Production-grade for clinical-team workflows and operational use.
A3
AI reviewed, single-source
One authoritative source. AI-reviewed for internal consistency, pending cross-source verification. Reference-grade — cite as such, never as a final clinical claim.

DrugIQ launched as an AI-reviewed canonical layer — most records start at A3. Continuous investment moves records up through A2 to A1 as cross-source verification and expert review catch up. Bar above is directional; per-tier record counts published at v1 launch.
