Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free, versioned taxonomy for counting the operational cost of governing content and conduct on online platforms.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-03 issue.

Field notes

The framework assigns codes to expenses that conventional platform cost models may omit, including initial training, protected non-exposure time, worker health claims, and client-side vendor management. The homepage shows six examples from roughly sixty line items, including TS-640 for protected non-exposure time and TS-930 for exit, wind-down, and redundancy costs. It separates the vocabulary of accounting from pricing: the workbook is stated to contain no benchmark values or rates.
