How we work.

• Act lawfully and without violence. Reject violence, threats, incitement, intimidation, harassment, doxxing, and retaliation.
• Apply one standard to every actor. Reject collective blame. Respect human dignity, fair process, and the presumption of innocence.
• Put people’s safety first. Minimise collection and exposure of personal information; protect sources and participants.
• Remain open to correction. Acknowledge uncertainty, preserve contradictory information, and correct mistakes.

Formal adoption and enforcement procedures remain to be established.

Preserve originals and record their source, acquisition, and handling. Examine supporting, contradictory, and contextual material. Review privacy, source-protection, and legal risks before publication.

Allegation

An assertion to examine.

Corroborated evidence

Independent material supports part of a claim.

Official finding

A named institution has issued a finding.

Judicial finding

A court or tribunal has made a determination.

Keep these categories distinct. Record the institution or court, source document, and date for a finding. A matching file hash verifies unchanged bytes against a record; it does not establish authenticity or truth.

Methodology references: Berkeley Protocol and Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Articles 10–11. Reference points, not endorsements or claims of compliance.

The proposed model calls for named stewards, transparent decisions and funding, conflict disclosures and recusal, independent review, and clear routes for corrections and challenges.

Real evidence intake and public case reporting remain closed while source protections, retention rules, access controls, and independent assessment are developed.
