How This Site's Content Is Made

Human Design attracts a lot of confident writing with nothing underneath it. This page is the standard every article here is held to instead: where claims come from, how charts and prices are verified, and what never gets published.

Grounded in the recorded teaching, not the internet's version

Every mechanical claim on this site must trace to something LaVeena B. Archers, PhD actually teaches. Articles are assembled from her library of recorded classes, certification courses, webinars, and mentoring sessions, using in-house editorial tooling built for exactly that purpose, and then reviewed before publication. What this rules out is the internet's generic version of Human Design: recycled keyword content, pop reinterpretations, and claims no teacher in the lineage would stand behind. If a topic isn't covered in her own material, the article doesn't get padded with someone else's. It waits, or it isn't written.

Source lineage

The Human Design System was originated by Ra Uru Hu, and its official body of work is held by Jovian Archive. LaVeena B. Archers, PhD serves as Education Director of Jovian Archive, has been studying the system since 2012, and teaches its career and business application through the official certification pathway. Her full credential list is on the teaching and press page, and the education side of this work lives at theHumanDesignSystem.com. When an article here distinguishes source-grounded material from the pop version, that lineage is what it's referring to.

The business-figures standard

Articles analyzing the charts of well-known founders and public figures follow the strictest sourcing rule on the site. Birth data comes from independently maintained, Rodden-rated birth records (the rating system archivists use to grade the reliability of a recorded birth time), and pieces are only written where the record's rating supports it. The bodygraph is then computed in-house with professional ephemeris software and cross-checked against the official reference data, and the chart images shown come from Jovian Archive's official Maia Mechanics software. If a verifiable birth record doesn't exist, the article doesn't exist either, no matter how tempting the subject.

The case-study standard

The case studies published here are drawn from real recorded mentoring and client sessions, with identifying details removed. None are composites invented to make a point, and none carry manufactured numbers. Where an article makes a first-person claim ("I've watched this pattern in mentoring"), that claim has to be true of the actual session archive behind the site.

Comparisons, prices, and other systems

Articles comparing Human Design to other assessment systems state facts about those systems from primary sources: the vendor's own published pages, price lists, and research documents, checked on a recorded date and hedged as "at this writing." Vendor marketing claims are attributed as the vendor's own, never repeated as independent fact, and figures that can't be verified are dropped rather than estimated. A dated source ledger for every figure is kept alongside the site, and comparison pricing is re-verified on an annual cycle, with the article's updated date shown when material figures change.

What never gets published

  • Per-profile or per-type statistics that the source material doesn't support.
  • Invented client stories, numbers, or testimonials.
  • Chart analyses of private individuals, or of anyone without a verifiable birth record.
  • Medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice dressed as chart mechanics.
  • Claims that Human Design is a scientifically validated psychometric instrument. It isn't, and the honest framing, run the experiment in your own life, is the one used throughout.

Corrections and updates

Materially revised articles display their updated date. If you find an error of fact, a broken figure, or a claim that doesn't hold up, say so, and it will be corrected or removed. The standard for keeping something published is the same as the standard for publishing it.
