Love the slop map framework. The rebranded wellness quadrant is especially spot-on, it's wild how much "longevity" content is just decade-old advice with a shiny new label. What I find trickiest tho is the uncritical longevity zone, where hype mixes with real but early-stage science. Seen this when following NAD+ boosters back in 2018, tons of enthusiasm but the actual human trials lagged way behind the claims. The checklist at the end is gold, especially asking "what would normally happen next" and actually checking back.
Yeah to a certain extent early is always hard to assess. I think looking for conflict of interest and whether progress occurs as expected works well. If people are still talking about nice results in worms after a decade, you can probably ignore.
Thank you for pointing out that "Rebranded Wellness" shouldn't be considered longevity. Advice of healthy diet, sleep, and exercise isn't new or groundbreaking.

Go figure - an honest take on the field. Thanks.
Great work!
