Marco Ruggeri — founder and editor

Marco Ruggeri is the founder and editor of homeopathy.software and the founder behind Similia, the repertory software at similia.io that funds this site [1]. That dual role is the site's central conflict of interest: the same person who builds the recommended Pro tool also signs off on the editorial rules that decide when, and whether, the tool gets recommended [1][2]. The site's editorial process treats it as the load-bearing disclosure [1].

The role

As founder, Ruggeri set up homeopathy.software as an independent editorial hub for software-augmented homeopathic practice — a magazine-style reference for practitioners and students, not a marketing surface for Similia [1]. As editor, he holds final responsibility for what publishes: he is one of the four allowed bylines, he chairs the editorial board, and under the site's authorship rule the published byline must always be a real human who has reviewed the final text end to end and accepts responsibility for it [1]. AI may assist drafting; accountability does not transfer to a model.

What he committed the site to

The decisions that define the site are governance choices, and they are deliberately constraining on the founder's own commercial interest.

• An honest comparison policy. Buyer's-guide and alternatives pages must name what a competitor does better and may recommend a competitor for some readers, ranked by the published rubric rather than by who pays the bills [1][2].
• A separation-of-intent rule. No page here may mirror a similia.io product page targeting the same purchase intent; the hub attacks each keyword from the editorial, methodology, or biographical angle [2].
• Classical literature presented on its own terms. Materia medica, repertory entries, and traditional indications are sourced from the canonical literature — Hahnemann, Boenninghausen, Boericke, Kent — and presented as the tradition records them, without editorial inflation or deflation [1].

On Similia

Similia keeps a Free plan usable indefinitely and offers a 14-day Pro trial plus student discounts on the Pro tiers, with monthly and annual billing across four Pro options [3]. Readers who want to evaluate it against the alternatives this hub reviews can start without payment: Try Similia Pro free opens the trial.

Accountability and contact

Editorial accountability runs through documented process, not personality. Every substantive correction is recorded on the corrections log, and the standing rules Ruggeri enforces are maintained by the editorial board.
