V7.2 · Citation & Evidence Architecture™

Every important claim should tell you
what kind of evidence it is.

Genwealth 360 separates proprietary frameworks from primary-source rules, third-party research context and educational interpretation. The purpose is not to make every page look academic. It is to make the basis of the content visible.

The evidence stack

Four labels. Four very different meanings.

01GENWEALTH FRAMEWORK

A proprietary conceptual model used to organize physician financial decisions. It is not presented as a population finding or government rule.

02OFFICIAL PRIMARY SOURCE

Government, regulator or other first-party authority used when the content depends on a rule, definition, limit, filing requirement or regulatory fact.

03RESEARCH CONTEXT

Credible external research used to describe a market, behavior, trend or physician-specific context. Source, date and limitations should travel with the claim.

04EDUCATIONAL INTERPRETATION

Genwealth 360's explanation of why a rule, pattern or financial relationship may matter inside a physician's broader architecture. It is not individualized advice.

Primary-source hierarchy

Use the closest source to the fact.

When content depends on a legal, tax, retirement-plan, securities or regulatory rule, the preferred source is the primary authority responsible for that rule. Secondary commentary can provide context, but should not replace the primary source where the primary source is available.

Federal taxIRS · U.S. Treasury · Internal Revenue Code / official guidance
Retirement plans & employee benefitsIRS · U.S. Department of Labor / EBSA · official plan guidance
Securities & investment regulationSEC / Investor.gov · FINRA / BrokerCheck · applicable regulator
Healthcare / physician market contextGovernment datasets, peer-reviewed literature and clearly attributed physician-industry research

Page-level evidence panels

Evidence should appear where it helps—not where it interrupts.

Our strongest pillar and answer pages can now include compact evidence panels that disclose the basis of the page without turning the experience into a bibliography.

1Claim

What the page actually says.

2Evidence class

Framework, primary, research or interpretation.

3Source trail

Methodology or authoritative source family.

4Boundary

What the evidence does not establish.

Machine-readable layer

The same standard is available to search and answer systems.

The public evidence registry maps Genwealth frameworks, evidence classes and source families in a compact structured format so the site's meaning is not dependent on visual design alone.
