The team and contributors
Meet the homeopathy.software team — the editorial board and the historical authors whose works anchor every remedy, methodology, and repertory page on the site.
The homeopathy.software team is small and accountable by design. A named editorial board commissions, reviews, and signs off every page, and a roster of historical authors — Hahnemann, Hering, Kent, Boenninghausen, and the others below — supplies the source material that the board grades, cites, and cross-links. This page sets out who does the work, how responsibility is assigned, and where the line falls between editorial opinion and the practitioner-tradition literature it draws on [1].
How the team is structured
Every editorial page on this site carries one of four bylines, and no others: Editorial Board, Marco Ruggeri (Founder & Editor), a named Guest Contributor, or the Editorial Team for staff-edited compilations [1]. Pseudonyms and anonymous bylines are not permitted. AI tools may assist with drafting, but a named human reviews each published page end to end and accepts responsibility for it, in line with the site's published editorial process [1].
The site is funded by Similia, the repertory platform at similia.io [1]. The board's job is to keep editorial judgement independent of the funding: competitors are ranked only against the published evaluation rubric, and the historical author pages profile lives, schools, and works rather than mirror any product surface [1][2].
The historical authors
In the broader sense, the team includes the figures whose writings underwrite the tradition this site documents. Each has a dedicated biography that covers the life, the school, the published works by edition, and the open historical questions — not the remedy-level data, which belongs to the materia-medica surfaces on similia.io [2].

Editorial standards
Every non-trivial factual claim carries a numbered citation that resolves in a References section; clinical claims are graded A to D, with the primary classical literature (Hahnemann, Hering, Kent, and contemporaries) at Grade A and secondary commentary at Grade C [1]. Indications are sourced from the named historical author and edition; where authors diverge on a rubric or keynote, the divergence is noted rather than averaged [1][2].
