Who writes and maintains MirrorCare

MirrorCare is written and maintained by the MirrorCare team. We are not a clinic, and this version has not been reviewed by a licensed clinician. We say that plainly because implying a review we did not have would be misleading in a context where people make decisions about family relationships and mental health.

Who is responsible

MirrorCare is operated by the MirrorCare team, which also sells the paid report described on this site. That is a commercial interest, and it is disclosed here and on the comparison page rather than hidden. No external medical advisory board exists, and we do not name one.

How content is produced

1. Concept first. We start from public research and established clinical concepts, then write items in plain language about observable experience rather than diagnostic labels.
2. Claims are separated from descriptions. A statement that “this pattern is common” is treated differently from a statement that “this test measures it accurately”. The second requires validation data, which we do not have.
3. Sources are listed where they exist. The methodology page lists the references used for constructs and safety principles. Where we could not verify a detail, we mark it instead of guessing.
4. Safety language is reviewed separately. Crisis resources and support routes are checked and linked from every assessment page and report.

Where AI assistance is used

We use AI tools for drafting, editing, translation support and code. We do not use AI to invent clinicians, credentials, study results, user testimonials or review badges. Published pages are reviewed by a human before release, and the responsibility for what appears here sits with the MirrorCare team, not with a model.

What has not been done

• No clinical validation of the item bank.
• No review by a licensed clinician for this version.
• No test-retest reliability study or measurement-error analysis.
• No independent user study yet; a small pilot is planned.
• No medical advisory board, and no claim of one.

The full evidence status is maintained on the methodology page.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, unclear, or overstates what the evidence supports, email support@mirrorcare.cc with the page URL and the sentence in question. We aim to respond within five working days. Substantive corrections are recorded in the methodology change log; spelling and formatting fixes are not.
