Questions and exclusions

Required questions

  1. Required question 1 (exact ID: question-1)
    Are authority, recusal, appeal, correction, conflict, stop-work, anti-retaliation, and public-accountability rules legitimate and operationally testable?
  2. Required question 2 (exact ID: question-2)
    Do civil-and-defensive controls exclude offensive, coercive, weapon, surveillance, and autonomous-force uses without relying on intent labels?
  3. Required question 3 (exact ID: question-3)
    Which prerequisites remain unstaffed or untested, and what evidence is required before activation?

Explicit exclusions

  • A prepared policy is not an operating institution, legal opinion, appointment, screening decision, or activated authority.
  • Founder preference, funding, urgency, or prestige cannot compensate for a failed rights, safety, security, or legitimacy gate.

Requested controlled scopes: affected-public-rights, dual-use-risk, editorial-governance

Frozen-evidence decision window: 90 days from the packet freeze. Not applicable to this packet family.

Offline packet and worksheet

Downloads contain no reviewer contact details. Downloading does not create an account or store a review response in the GShips application. Ordinary provider request or analytics logs may record the download request. Work locally: the public site has no review account, upload endpoint, or decision-submission API.

Review-notes worksheet · Markdown

Readable notes companion only—not a decision-bundle equivalent. Use the closed JSON template for structural validation.

Download notes worksheet

Do not paste a completed decision, identity documents, private contact data, confidential conflict evidence, medical information, controlled material, or exploit details into a public form. Until a separately authorized private handoff exists, retain the completed worksheet locally.

Validate offline

Use Node.js 22.13.0 or later. Keep the packet, worksheet, completed decision, and all six kit files together in a local directory.

  1. Download the six kit files below. Complete a copy of the JSON template offline and preserve its templateFingerprint.
  2. Finalize a separate output file.
    node finalize-review-decision.mjs \
  --input DRAFT.json \
  --output COMPLETED.json

    This marks the copy complete and calculates an unkeyed canonical bundle fingerprint. A fingerprint detects changes; it is not a reviewer signature.

  3. Validate the packet and completed copy.
    node check-review-decisions.mjs \
  --packet PACKET.json \
  --decision COMPLETED.json

    Add another --decision for each independent reviewer.

  4. Interpret the result narrowly. A zero exit proves structural consistency only. Neither command appoints or qualifies a reviewer, establishes independence, accepts a decision, or authorizes publication.

Completion criteria

Every primary record must receive the required number of valid, current-fingerprint approvals; every complementary scope group and required domain must be covered; any unresolved revise, contest, or reject disposition blocks publication.

Named medical, reproductive, nuclear, radiation, cybersecurity, governance, and dual-use conclusions require two distinct qualified independent humans covering complementary domain-method and rights/public-interest scopes.

  • Reviewer identity, qualification, independence, conflicts, and compensation must be assessed by accountable human governance; local validation can only report structural validity.
  • Approve, revise, contest, reject, and recuse remain visible. A negative finding cannot be hidden by an aggregate approval percentage.
  • Revision creates a new record and packet fingerprint. Prior approvals do not carry forward automatically.
  • AI may assist with clerical comparison but cannot count as an independent reviewer, identity attestor, appeal authority, or second person.

Assumptions and limits

  • The exact packet, record, source, policy, release, and source-commit fingerprints bound this prepared page; human review has not started.
  • Downloading, local structural validation, or completing notes does not appoint or qualify a reviewer, establish independence, accept a decision, authorize publication, or create a relationship.

What would change this page?

Staffed governance, appointed qualified reviewers, completed record-level decisions, published conflicts, minority findings, corrections, or changed review policy would change this page.
