Methodology

How Atlas comparisons work.

Comparisons are built on source completeness, location clarity, provider response paths, and public documentation — never pay-to-play.

Public source rules

What we assess.

Public source coverage

Source completeness, location clarity, and last-verified dates for every profile.

CDC ART context

Clinic-level outcome context with reporting year and cycle counts, where matched.

Provider response

Every profile has an annotation and correction path before it appears in a list.

Review discipline

Review context appears only when source documents cross-check — never unverified claims.
