FAQ

Lit Review™ — common questions

What is a Lit Review™?

A Lit Review™ is a fast, strategic review of the published science behind your product — mapping mechanisms, white space, misconceptions, and the claims you could credibly own. It's Phase 1 of the Science Marketing Engine.

How long does a Lit Review™ take?

Weeks, not the six months a traditional review can take. Our AI-assisted process compresses the timeline without cutting corners on rigor.

Who is a Lit Review™ for?

Consumer health and healthcare brands deciding where to invest, what to claim, or how to differentiate — ideally before committing to a formula or a campaign.

What do I get from a Lit Review™?

A clear map of the evidence: mechanisms, claim opportunities scored against the standard that matters (retailer or regulatory), competitive white space, and a prioritized direction for marketing.

How is it different from a standard literature review?

A standard review tells you what the studies say. A Lit Review™ tells you where your brand can credibly win — built for marketing decisions, not just academic completeness.
