How the HGS Research Desk works
Healthcare Growth Strategies publishes two kinds of content.
Resources are items we curate and recommend: reporting, studies, data, and editorial pieces from other organizations, shared with brief context. When we point you to a Resource, we’re recommending it as worth your time, not claiming it as our own work.
HGS Research Desk pieces are original analysis and data synthesis we produce ourselves.
How we produce Research Desk content
These articles are drafted with the assistance of AI language models working from specific, sourced prompts, and are then reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by a human before publication. Every figure, ranking, and claim is verified against its source, which we cite and link. AI helps us draft and structure. It does not decide what is true.
Sourcing
We build on named, public sources and link to the original wherever possible so you can check our work. We prioritize primary sources and peer-reviewed research, and we distinguish those from industry and perception surveys when we rely on them.
What this content is, and isn’t
Research Desk pieces are informational analysis about the healthcare growth and services market. They are not investment, legal, tax, medical, or financial advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or transact. Rankings and market data change. We date every piece and update it when the underlying sources change, but we can’t guarantee it is complete or current at the moment you read it.
Attribution
Research Desk pieces carry a named byline where an author is taking analytical responsibility for the interpretation. The underlying facts are attributed to their original sources; the interpretation is ours.

How we check accuracy
Original Research Desk analysis goes through two reviews before it publishes. First, a human editor checks it. Second, we run it through an automated review agent we built specifically for this site. The agent opens every source we cite, one link at a time, and confirms that the exact claim in the article — the number, the date, the finding — actually appears in that source. It also checks that we describe associations as associations rather than overstating cause and effect, that no statistic is left unsourced, and that our framing stays true to what the evidence supports. Anything that doesn’t hold up gets corrected or removed before publishing. Every Research Desk piece clears that check first.
How this got here
A bit of honesty, since some people have asked. This site is also a personal learning project. It started because I kept losing track of the healthcare articles and reports I wanted to read, and I wanted one place to save and categorize them. I also wanted to teach myself agentic automation and test what actually works in modern search. Building the resource library, the valuation calculator, the accuracy-review agent, and now original content has been how I’ve learned those skills in practice. The site is genuinely AI-built, and I’d rather show how it works than pretend otherwise. If you want the fuller story, the About This Site page covers it.
