Field notes
The framework describes society as an ecology with several functions to preserve at once, including people's standing, room for private life, limits on power, and the ability to correct mistakes. Its scenario pages use distinct tests—for example, whether AI can act as a gatekeeper, and whether surveillance leaves room for a right to opacity. The homepage calls the framework developing and says it is tested in public.
