Field notes
The card form separates topics from principles and boundaries, with examples such as medical ethics, accessibility review, and Lagos local knowledge. It also collects practical availability details, including timezone, languages, daily contact limits, and typical response time. A separate report form is described as available to verified card owners; the site says reports appear without the reporter’s name in an ethics feed.
