Regulatory, privacy, evidence, and workflow lens
product-specific source-backed lens: These product-specific signals summarize what the cited sources imply before treating Consensus as safe for a local clinical, operational, or research workflow.
| Regulatory / FDA | Treat as research and education support, not clinical decision support or a diagnostic system. |
|---|---|
| Privacy | Avoid entering patient-identifiable information unless contract and privacy terms explicitly support the use case. |
| Evidence | Verify database coverage, study filters, Consensus Meter interpretation, and whether each cited paper supports the generated answer. |
| Workflow | Best for literature discovery, study triage, and student or writer workflows where users manually review the underlying papers. |
Where Consensus fits
Consensus presents a medical research feature for clinical research and source-backed study snapshots, and its help materials explain source data and AI features such as study summaries and paper-level analysis.
Not for: Final clinical recommendations without human appraisal or citation verification.
What to verify before using Consensus
- Which databases and journals are searched.
- Whether study filters match your research question.
- How current the indexed literature is.
- Whether every cited study supports the generated claim.
