Qustas is the independent center that measures whether companies tell the truth about their products. It owns the transparency standard; an external council governs how it changes.
From the laboratory to the pharmacy shelf, every step of a medicine answers to an authority. What the company chooses to tell the person taking it answers to no one.
That is the link Qustas measures.
Ethics committees · inspection · registries
Statutory mandate · published decisions
Unsupervised
No mandate · no inspection · no public record

Seats are held by organisations, not by individuals. The rated industry never sits on it.
Dashed seats are open. No organisation has been committed — deliberately. The council deliberates on the manual, which Qustas owns.
A change needs three of five. Qustas can neither pass one nor block one.
Every version of the manual is published with the decision that produced it.
A person leaving does not take the seat with them.
A standards body is defined as much by its limits as by its method. These are limits on Qustas, not on the companies it measures.
No money from the rated industry enters Qustas
No payment changes a score
Qustas does not recommend medicines or guide clinical decisions
Everything a person takes, wears or trusts is described by whoever sells it, and nobody measures how much of the story gets left out. Qustas is that refusal turned into an institution.
Daniela cares about who gets left out of the conversation. She grew up watching people decide things about their own lives with only what someone else chose to tell them.
Medicine is the clearest case: the full account exists. It just reaches everyone except the person taking it. Qustas is her answer to that.
David grew up somewhere information was a privilege. He learned early that people who cannot check are people who can be told anything, and that the gap is never an accident.
Data was the way out: institutions phrase things, records do not. His work is making information checkable. Qustas is that, applied where nobody was looking: what a company tells you.
Whether you want to understand how the standard works, discuss what Qustas is building, or simply ask something, the door is open.
