WBC translation

WBC uses claim boundaries to preserve the exploration space: say what is felt and plausible, say what is known, and name the overclaim line clearly.

Why it matters

  • 1Lets the catalog be useful without becoming hype or sterile skepticism.
  • 2Protects traditional and practitioner maps from being misused as medical proof.
  • 3Keeps products framed as inputs that may support practice, not guaranteed fixes.

Do not overclaim

  • A claim boundary should not read like legal fear; it should sharpen the practical claim.
  • Do not use careful language to erase the body literacy or lived-response value of a practice.

Evidence note

Claim boundaries are an editorial discipline for matching evidence, mechanism, and user response to proportional language.
