Fair evaluation
A sponsor’s claims receive neither special treatment nor automatic rejection. Evidence, reasoning, methods, and uncertainty matter.
OUR INDEPENDENCE
Support the mission.
Keep the questions free.
WSI works with people and organizations across wellness while applying the same standards of evidence to every claim.
01 / THE POLICY
Sponsorship is support, not endorsement.
WSI may accept financial or in-kind support from organizations with different products and perspectives. That support does not mean WSI endorses their claims, nor that a sponsor agrees with every WSI participant or conclusion.
Sponsors do not determine curriculum, competition questions, scoring, or scientific findings. We disclose sponsors and, where appropriate, material contributions such as products, prizes, travel, or event support.
02 / ONE STANDARD
The same questions for everyone.
Different perspectives
Competing companies and opposing viewpoints may participate when they accept WSI’s independence.
Transparency
Recognition acknowledges support; it is not scientific certification or a product recommendation.
03 / FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Can a sponsor be questioned?
Yes. Sponsorship does not exempt any claim from fair examination. WSI may decline or end support when conditions, conduct, or claims conflict with the educational mission, independence, or commitment to honest dialogue.
