Our method
Evidence first.
Conclusions earned.
A clear account should show what is known, where it came from and what remains unresolved.
A repeatable
review process.
Our working review framework applies the same standards to criticism and recognition.
Listen & define the question
Record the participant’s account and establish what the review is trying to learn. Keep reported experience distinct from findings.
Preserve & trace sources
Retain original records securely. Track dates, provenance and revisions; publish only material cleared for disclosure.
Build the chronology
Separate reporting, response, records access and outcomes. Identify gaps and conflicting accounts without silently resolving them.
Seek a fair response
Before material adverse findings, offer the subject a specific, reasonable opportunity to respond. An unanswered inquiry is not an admission.
Review & publish
Assess claims against sources, redact private information and disclose relevant relationships. Founder-connected work requires a reviewer without a personal stake before findings are published.
Correct & follow through
Date material updates, explain substantive corrections and distinguish a promised action from a verified result.
How we describe evidence.
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Documented | A directly reviewed source supports the specific statement. It does not establish every assertion within that source. |
| Reported | A source describes an event that has not been independently established. |
| Unresolved | Evidence is incomplete, conflicting or insufficient for a finding. |
| Finding | A sourced conclusion that has completed editorial and conflict review. |
This framework is prepared for adoption. No completed independent review or adopted board policy is represented by this website.
