Classify the claim
Each material statement should be identifiable as verified fact, documented allegation, participant claim, expert interpretation, inference, dispute, unknown, or scenario.
Editorial method
Evidence before intensity.
Cognitive threats are easy to exaggerate because technical capability, public fear, and actual behavioral effect are often collapsed into one claim. This project keeps them separate.
Grade the source
Prefer primary records, court documents, statutes, official audits, peer-reviewed research, direct technical evidence, and transparent datasets. Secondary synthesis is used with attribution.
Separate capability from effect
A system that can generate persuasive language has not thereby proven durable behavior change. Reach, authentic exposure, causation, and long-term effects require separate evidence.
Preserve counterevidence
Negative findings, failed replications, low engagement, false positives, and benign uses remain visible. They are not treated as obstacles to the narrative.
Minimize operational detail
Research on grooming, influence operations, synthetic personas, or coordinated networks is framed for recognition, governance, and defense—not as a blueprint for abuse.
Reverify unstable facts
Current laws, office-holders, product features, platform policies, model capabilities, sanctions, cases, and active conflicts must be checked again before a formal publication release.
Correct publicly
Substantive corrections should state what changed, why it changed, and what evidence supports the revision. Silent rewrites are avoided for consequential claims.
PUBLIC LABELS
Evidence states used throughout the site
Supported by public records, audits, court filings, peer-reviewed studies, or confirmed deployments.
Demonstrated in controlled research, limited deployments, or credible early evidence; scale and durability remain uncertain.
Evidence is mixed, causal claims are disputed, or commercial claims exceed independent validation.
A defensive projection used to test resilience. It is not presented as a current event or proven capability.
CURRENT LIMITATION
Research is supplied, not independently peer reviewed by the site.
The first release preserves the supplied reports and their bibliographies. It adds editorial labels and cautions, but it does not claim to have independently validated every footnote or current legal statement.
CORRECTION PATH
Evidence can be challenged.
Submit a source correction, methodological objection, missing counterexample, or legal update through the public participation form. Include a stable source and the exact claim affected.
