Open founder decision
This object is gated on a decision only the founder can make. Its current content is provisional and marked as such.
M-1 is the most important document we will publish: the working definitions of the six evidence tiers. What qualifies a claim as Narrated, Observed, Replicated, Causally Supported, Cross Evaluator, or Real World Corroborated. How many runs constitute replication. Which evaluators count as independent. What counts as real-world corroboration.
The tier names and their order are settled. The thresholds are not. They are a founder decision, under active development, and this page will hold the versioned definitions when they exist. Until then, every claim on this site is presented at Narrated, which requires no definition beyond honesty.
