Concepts

A 39-entry glossary for Blueprint, Don't Die, biomarker protocols, Female-specific Blueprint, source-aware critiques, and tweet-backed concepts that do not yet have dedicated wiki pages.

Source-aware summaries only; not medical advice. Confidence labels describe public-dashboard certainty, not clinical truth.
