The only exposure I have had to metamed was Yudkowsky saying he spent X dollars on it to get advice to take melatonin microdoses hours before going to bed. When i saw the dollar amount I burst out laughing because I had literally a week earlier come to the same conclusion using google scholar searches at the library in my quest to normalize my own sleep schedule (though my problem wound up having a very different solution in the end).
To be fair you do have a strong biology background that makes you more likely to do an efficient literature search than the average person.
You are also at a university with journal subscription which isn’t true for everyone.
There might be room for people paying other people to do this kind of research. But the price is likely to high.
I wonder if Metamed’s problem was that if you were smart and well informed enough to understand the company’s value to the average person, you personally didn’t need it because you could do the research yourself.
