Monitoring
A score that explains itself
The scanner reads your storefront continuously against a research-use-only rule set and turns what it finds into a score from 0 to 100. Every point lost points at a page and a sentence.
What it reads
The whole storefront, as it changes
Product pages
Titles, descriptions, variations, tags and reviews you display.
Content
Blog posts, FAQs, landing pages, and the text in your theme's headers and footers.
Policies and notices
Terms, shipping and refund pages, and whether the research-use-only notices are present where they should be.
Checkout path
That the gate, sign-in and attestation steps are active and in the published order.
The rule set
What counts as a finding, and what it costs
Scores start at 100. Each open finding removes 15 points if high, 7 if medium, 3 if low. A finding closes on its own when a later scan no longer sees it.
| Category | Examples | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Human-use language | Dosing, injection or administration instructions; before-and-after framing; anything addressed to a patient or user rather than a researcher. | high |
| Health and therapeutic claims | Treats, cures, heals, improves, boosts, anti-ageing, weight loss, performance. | high |
| Missing or weakened notices | Research-use-only or not-for-human-use wording absent from a page that sells, or contradicted elsewhere on it. | medium |
| Buyer qualification gaps | A sales path that reaches checkout without the gate and attestation. | high |
| Ambiguous presentation | Imagery, categories or comparisons that present products as consumer goods or supplements. | low |
Thresholds
The same numbers for every store
- 100
- Processing can be unlocked, or stays on.
- 65 to 99
- Already live stores stay live and work through their findings. Stores that haven't unlocked yet stay locked until they reach 100.
- Below 65
- We email you and a 24-hour window starts. Reach 100 inside it and nothing changes. Otherwise processing through PAYX Solutions pauses until the score is back at 100.

Evidence you can hand over
Score history, each finding with its page and excerpt, and the attestation ledger export on demand from the merchant portal. When a processor or bank asks what your store does and who buys, you send a file, not a promise.
