Governance & Transparency

What CognioNews Is / Isn’t

• Is: Decision-support signal intake + enrichment testbed using CognioEngine lenses.
• Isn’t: A truth oracle or legal/medical/financial advice; no personalised targeting.

Source Policy (summary)

• In-scope: named outlets/authors with verifiable URLs/dates; primary documents; official data; on-record statements.
• Out-of-scope unless corroborated: anonymous social; AI-only content; propaganda without counter-sourcing.
• Contested claims need 2+ independent confirmations or a clear “unverified” label. Corrections are logged and republished.

Provenance & Corrections

• Every item has a ledger entry: source, timestamp, transformations, lens trace, outputs.
• Corrections: timestamped, reasoned, and noted on affected outputs.

Evaluation Protocol

• Baseline vs enriched on identical inputs; blinded human ratings.
• Metrics: lead time, narrative divergence, decision utility (0–5), FP/FN (after adjudication), interpretability.
• Adjudication windows (e.g., 30/90 days) to validate early warnings.

Governance Roles

• Editorial Board: Kenny (chair), Pham (ops), Rosemary (observer) — publish/corrections.
• Evaluation Board: Pham (metrics), Rosemary (audit), Kenny (arbiter) — metrics/baselines/adjudication.
• Ethics/Community: Rosemary (representation), Kenny (harm checks).

Responsible Use

• No personalised targeting; avoid harm to vulnerable groups; no PII/doxxing.
• Outputs always carry provenance links and limitations.

Contact / Corrections

To report an issue or request a correction, use the internal corrections channel or email the Editorial Board.
