AcuAtlas Methodology

Source hierarchy

The WHO point-location standard is the primary authority for location statements. Point-specific educational, regulatory, council, or safety documents are then used for traditional classifications, depth boundaries, moxibustion notes, and documented cautions. Unsupported safety claims are not inferred.

Original writing

Commercial manuals such as Deadman, Bensky, Miridia, and similar works are not copied. Facts can be researched, but wording, organization, translations, and complete name lists must remain original or come from sources that permit the intended use.

Mechanical validation

The build gate requires exactly 361 unique IDs in the expected 14-meridian counts. Every point must contain all required text fields, a valid mapped view, normalized x/y coordinates, a leader direction, at least one source, and a WHO point-location citation. Caution points require a specific caution note.

Safety boundary

LI-4, SP-6, BL-60, BL-67, and GB-21 must retain pregnancy-specific caution wording. Sensitive anatomical regions require directly supported caution language. Pages remain educational references and do not become self-treatment or needling instructions.
