What aspects of transparency would you be looking to learn more about in order to grant more trust?

I think the biggest concern that people might see is how are you making money. With promethease, we give them a small amount of money. People are going to assume that the only way to generate income on this project is the selling of user data or keeping it to build a database to use for analysis and then selling that data.

This site could use a bit more information about how the analysis is being done and what benefits it offers over similar sites.

Great feedback, I appreciate it. Our office's page is how we make money. Offices embed the button on their webpage and receive your report upon which they're able to prescribe certain preventative plans.

I'd like to see a technology explanation (in gory detail, and open sourced would be better) for how you keep the genome data ephemeral and secure and how you comply with HIPAA laws as well as the FDA. This software has features for which you very likely need to submit a 510k and associated regulatory paperwork, especially if you provide the data to a doctor to use to prescribe any sort of medical care.

This is incredible advice I really appreciate it.
