Challenge the record.

What to submit

• The NORM record URL or the exact statement being challenged.
• A precise description of the alleged error.
• The strongest primary source or original public record supporting the correction.
• Your relationship to the brand, product, publication, or dispute.
• The factual change you believe the public record requires.

How NORM handles a challenge

1. Receipt. The submission is logged with its date and declared relationship.
2. Scope review. NORM determines whether the issue concerns source accuracy, context, evidence interpretation, method application, or a matter outside scope.
3. Record review. The challenged material and relevant primary sources are examined under the method version applicable to that record. Consumer-review-1.0 uses NORM’s AI-assisted editorial review; it does not imply independent human scientific review.
4. Decision. NORM may correct, qualify, withdraw, or retain the record. The reason and review status must be documented.
5. History. A material public correction must preserve the earlier state and explain what changed.

This process covers published consumer reviews as well as future v1.1 records. Independent specialist or appeal review is not represented as completed unless it actually occurs. See the consumer-review policy.

NORM does not promise a fixed decision time during the public beta. Complexity, source access, and specialist review requirements vary.

Limits

This process is not a legal appeal, product safety report, medical complaint, or government regulatory channel. Urgent safety concerns should be directed to the relevant manufacturer, clinician, emergency service, or public authority.
