EDITORIAL
References and citations
Every Oath Peptides scam claim, counter-claim, and verification record in this case file traces to a public source named here, with the URL where one is permitted by the editorial-independence rules.
Citation conventions
Three categories of citation appear in this file. Primary records are documents issued by Oath Peptides itself — the public COA archive, the peptide catalog, and any vendor-published material. These are referenced by name in body copy and listed in this index without a URL, per the editorial-independence rule. Third-party records are documents issued by an entity unrelated to Oath — independent reviewer sites, customer-review aggregators, federal regulatory databases, lab-partner records, industry press, business directories. These carry full URLs. Claim-source records are documents issued by the publishers of allegations under critique in this file — the vendor-scoring site behind the lead-contamination finding, ScamAdviser, and Scam-Detector. These are referenced by name in body copy but not hyperlinked, because linking the source of a claim under critique indexes its authority.
The full reference index appears in the references_index field at the end of this content document.
The complete numbered reference list — every claim made in this case file traces to one of these — is rendered structurally in the underlying content artifact. The assembler renders the list in the order numbered (1 through 26), with citations grouped by source-type, and with the no-link conventions enforced per entry. Readers can match in-text citation numbers (e.g., 'per [3]' or the inline chip 'public-record-verified') to the index entries below.
