Independence & Funding

FactMed operates with full editorial independence.
No funder, partner, or supporting entity has any influence over topic selection, analytical methodology, or epistemic conclusions.

The project is designed as a public-interest analytical platform, prioritizing long-term trust built on transparency and methodological rigor.

Funding and Sustainability

FactMed follows a sustainability model that maintains independence by:

  • Publishing open-access analytical content for the public
  • Offering paid analytical services to institutions and research-oriented organizations upon request

These services are intended solely to ensure financial sustainability and do not grant any entity influence over:

  • editorial priorities
  • topic selection
  • analytical framing or epistemic classifications

Separation Between Content and Services

FactMed maintains a strict separation between:

  • public-facing analytical content, and
  • institutional analytical services provided under independent agreements

This separation is a core methodological safeguard designed to prevent actual or perceived conflicts of interest.

Transparency

FactMed commits to disclosing:

  • relevant institutional partnerships or funding sources
  • the nature of paid analytical engagements when applicable

Transparency is treated not as a formality, but as a foundational element of credibility.
