v1.0 Reference

Documentation

The reference for the Ēnel platform: how the Field Notes are structured, what a Record contains, how evidence is graded, and how verdicts are reached. Start with the introduction, or jump to any section on the left.

Introduction

Ēnel Health is an observational health record. It gathers what is known about interventions, peptides, supplements, protocols, devices, and traditions, grades the strength of the evidence behind each, and keeps a transparent record of how every verdict was reached. It does not sell products and does not provide medical advice.

The record rule

Every claim in the Field Notes links to its sources and its grade. If it is not on the record, it is not a verdict.

How to read the Field Notes

Each Field Note follows the same shape, so once you can read one, you can read them all.

Name & category
What the entry is and where it sits (peptide, supplement, protocol, device, tradition).
Evidence grade
A single letter, A to D, summarizing the strength of human evidence. See Evidence grades.
Mechanism
The plausible biological reason it might work, stated plainly and separated from proof that it does.
Quantitative measures
The specific, measured outcomes reported in studies, with their direction and size.
Sources
The trials, reviews, and records the verdict is built from.

The Field Notes

Field Notes are concise, evidence-graded summaries drawn from the Ēnel Atlas, the deeper record underneath. Each is a structured entry, not an article. A minimal entry looks like this:

field_note.json
{
  "id": "fn_bpc157",
  "name": "BPC-157",
  "category": "peptide",
  "evidence_grade": "C",
  "mechanism": "Proposed angiogenic and cytoprotective effects.",
  "measures": [
    { "outcome": "tendon healing", "model": "preclinical" }
  ],
  "sources": 14
}

Records are versioned. When new evidence changes a grade, the change and its date are kept on the entry.

The Record

The Record is the audit trail behind every verdict: which sources were read, how they were weighed, and why a grade landed where it did. It is what separates a verdict from an opinion. Members can trace any grade back to its inputs.

Traceable by design

A grade with no record is treated as provisional and marked as such until its sources are attached.

Evidence grades

Grades summarize the strength of human evidence in one letter. They describe how well something is established, not how strong its effect is.

GradeMeaningBasis
A Strong Multiple well-designed human trials in agreement.
B Moderate Some human evidence; consistent but limited in size or scope.
C Emerging Early or mixed human data, or strong mechanistic support.
D Limited Preclinical, anecdotal, or conflicting evidence only.

The Method

Every entry moves through the same pipeline before it earns a grade:

  1. 1

    Gather

    Collect the human trials, reviews, and records relevant to the claim.

  2. 2

    Weigh

    Assess design, size, and consistency, discounting weak or conflicted sources.

  3. 3

    Grade

    Assign A to D based on the weight of human evidence, not mechanism alone.

  4. 4

    Record

    Publish the verdict with its sources and reasoning attached.

Community

Members with a shared goal, condition, or life stage form groups to compare real results. Groups are member-proposed and reviewed before they open. Joining requires an account; an invite key notifies you when a proposed group is ready.

Studies

Studies are structured observations members can enroll in. Each shows its focus, category, and the quantitative measures it tracks. Enrollment is opt-in and consent-gated. Illustrative study cards are marked as such and are not medical claims.

Data & privacy

Health-data processing is opt-in and never assumed. Consent is an explicit action, recorded on your member record, and never downgraded silently. You can request your data or its deletion at any time.

Not medical advice

Ēnel Health is observational and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Talk to a clinician before changing anything you do.
