Recusal record / Minds

Funding removes decision rights.

Minds may provide facts and infrastructure. It may not validate, score, or adjudicate itself.

DECLARED CONFLICT

Minds founded and funds the Index, and Minds personnel may contribute engineering and administrative support.

  2. P-02

  3. P-03

Decision boundary

Prohibited decisions

  1. X-01

    Approve evidence checks or benchmark scores for Minds.

  2. X-02

    Select reference data, exclusions, outcomes, or weights after seeing results.

  3. X-03

  4. X-04

Enforcement

Publication is the control point.

A Minds-specific benchmark result cannot be published as independently reviewed until a conflict-checked external reviewer approves the protocol lock, audit trail, analysis, and conclusion.

Current consequence

No independent Minds result exists.

The reviewer seat is still vacant and the candidate protocol is not locked.
